“…Chorioangiomas are often associated with elderly primiparity, twin pregnancy, preeclampsia, and diabetes [ 4 ]. Chorioangioma can be diagnosed by ultrasound as a well-circumscribed, round, predominantly hypoechoic mass, often near to the cord insertion site along the fetal surface of the placenta [ 12 ]. They are known to protrude into the amniotic cavity.…”

Placental chorioangioma is the most common benign tumor of the placenta. However, clinically evident chorioangiomas are less common with an incidence ranging between 1:3,500 and 1:9,000 births. In the majority of cases, it is small or microscopic and of no clinical significance. If it increases more than 5 cm in size, then it may be associated with serious maternal complications such as mirror syndrome, polyhydramnios, preeclampsia, antepartum hemorrhage, preterm labor and delivery, and postpartum hemorrhage, as well as fetal complications such as fetal anemia, fetal thrombocytopenia, fetal hydrops, intrauterine growth restriction, fetal demise, and neonatal death. Giant chorioangioma associated with polyhydramnios leads to high perinatal morbidity and mortality. Chorioangioma with complications before fetal viability needs interventions. Conservative management with close surveillance can be considered in selective cases. We report a case of giant placental chorioangioma complicated with severe polyhydramnios managed conservatively with favorable maternal and fetal outcomes.

“…1 Maternal and foetal complications and prognosis are directly related to, proximity of the chorioangioma to the cord, tumour's size and vascularity. 9 Other tests include foetal echocardiography for assessment of cardiac function and measurement of foetal MCA PSV. Increased MCA-PSV, pulsatile umbilical venous flow velocity and abnormal foetal echo suggest foetal anaemia.…”

Chorioangiomas are the most common non-trophoblastic, benign, vascular tumour of the hemochorial placenta. Small chorioangiomas are usually symptomless, and of no clinical significance while giant ones more than 4 cm in diameter may be complicated by polyhydramnios, foetal cardiomegaly, hydrops fetalis, and foetal growth restriction. We present a case of a 32-year-old primigravida referred to us at 30 weeks of gestation with large placental chorioangioma causing polyhydramnios which was treated by amnioreduction twice over 1 month. On referral the tumour size was about 56 mm size with severe polyhydramnios with amniotic fluid index of 57 cm, with breathlessness and pain abdomen. After relevant investigations and informed consent, she was taken up for caesarean section. 2 litres of clear liquor drained. She delivered a live female baby weighing 1.2 kg with Apgar score of 7 and 8. Patient stood the operation well. Gross and microscopic examination of the placenta confirmed the diagnosis of chorioangioma. Chorioangioma should be considered as differential diagnosis in cases of hydrops fetalis or polyhydramnios. Doppler ultrasound is the method of choice to detect chorioangioma and its vascularity. Giant chorioangiomas complicating pregnancy can be managed conservatively with close surveillance, foetal monitoring and timely intervention to prevent maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality.

Chorioangiomas are benign tumours of the placenta, characterised by AV shunting within placenta leading to fetal anaemia, cardiomegaly and hydrops. Maternal complications are also possible such as polyhydramnios, APH and Mirror syndrome. Chorioangiomas of a large size (> 4 cm) can create complications for the fetus and expectant mothers. Chorioangioma is often associated with unfavourable effects on the mother as well as on the fetus. The following article is the case report of a patient who presented with polyhydramnios associated with chorioangioma of placenta with Preterm premature rupture of membranes.
