Epignathus with placental hydrops

C Kaplan, S Perlmutter, S Molinoff

Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine

|July 1, 1980

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

A stillborn infant presented with a massive epignathus, leading to placental enlargement, hydramnios, and hydrops. This condition suggests cardiac decompensation due to the tumor

Background:

Epignathus is a rare congenital tumor typically found in the oral or nasal regions.
Understanding the etiology and impact of epignathus is crucial for perinatal care.

Observation:

A stillborn male infant exhibited a massive epignathus.
Associated findings included placental enlargement, hydramnios (excess amniotic fluid), and hydrops (fetal edema).

Findings:

The observed fetal complications are hypothesized to result from cardiac decompensation secondary to the large vascular tumor.
The presence of Y bodies within the tumor suggests a potential mitotic origin from host cells.

Implications:

This case highlights the severe perinatal complications associated with massive epignathus.
