Congenital vascular malformation of the uterus in a stillborn: a case report
1Mallory Institute of Pathology, Boston University School of Medicine, MA 02118.
A case of a rare condition of uterine vascular malformation is reported in a stillborn fetus. No other vascular lesion was identified in the fetus during autopsy. The finding of a uterine vascular malformation in a stillborn fetus confirms the congenital nature of some uterine vascular lesions. Congenital uterine vascular malformations warrant clinical and pathomorphological differentiation from acquired arteriovenous fistulas of the uterus.

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
