[Chorioangioma (placental hemangioma): anatomo-pathologic identification and possible clinical relevance]

Chorioangioma (Placental hemangioma): Anatomo-pathological identification and possible clinical importance. Chorioangioma is found in about 1% of all placentas. However, many small tumours are missed in routine examination or easily mistaken for infarcts. Cases of large chorioangiomas may be related with a number of feto-maternal pathological conditions. Here we report a case of chorioangioma with a brief review on the possible several complications related to its occurrence.
