Fetomaternal Hemorrhage Caused by Intraplacental Choriocarcinoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature in Japan

Abstract: Fetomaternal hemorrhage induced by intraplacental choriocarcinoma is considered to be extremely rare. We herein describe a neonate with severe anemia caused by intraplacental choriocarcinoma that was histopathologically identified after birth. Furthermore, we reviewed three other such cases in Japan. As a result, the incidence of intraplacental choriocarcinoma may be higher than previously estimated. Therefore, we suggest that the placenta should be examined in any suspected cases of fetomaternal hemorrhage.

“…Maternal symptoms when present include irregular vaginal bleeding secondary to uterine or vaginal metastasis, cough or hemoptysis due to pulmonary metastasis, often initially misdiagnosed102, 103. Fetal and obstetric complications include fetomaternal hemorrhage, retroplacental hemorrhage, placental abruption and fetal hydrops, with fetal distress, anemia, intrauterine growth restriction and intrauterine fetal death (IUFD)101–106.…”
