The authors describe an extremely rare case of a teratoma of the placenta. The course of pregnancy was complicated by an EPH-gestosis pattern of signs and symptoms, and the foetus had hydrocephalus and a maxillary cleft combined with generalised hydrops foetalis and hydramnion. The morphological criteria of a placental teratoma are described and the requisite differential diagnostic delineations are drawn.
