Placental Chorioangioma: A Planned Successful Outcome

Multiple Giant Placental Chorioangioma: A Case Report

“…The diagnosis primarily relies on ultrasound, where they appear as well-defined lesions with distinct echogenicity compared to surrounding tissue 11,14,15 . They are commonly found in close proximity to the cord insertion site on the fetal surface of the placenta, where they extend into the amniotic cavity 16 . Furthermore, color Doppler ultrasound is instrumental in distinguishing chorioangiomas from other placental lesions such as placental hematomas, chorangiocarcinoma, partial hydatidiform moles, teratomas, and degenerated fibroids 10,17 .…”

“…Moreover, it can reveal the presence of a prominent feeding vessel within the tumor or confirm the vascular continuity between the tumor and fetal circulation 18 . Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) commonly shows chorioangiomas as heterogeneous masses with iso-intensity to the placenta on T1-weighted images and hyper-intensity on T2-weighted images 15,16 .…”

Transient Polyhydramnios during Pregnancy Complicated with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Case Report and Systematic Review

“…Amniotic fluid was assessed using AFI or DVP. In only two studies, amniotic fluid volume was assessed using the DVP method [ 14 , 15 ]. Six studies mentioned the occurrence of polyhydramnios without providing exact data regarding the measurements.…”

Prenatal diagnosis of placental chorioangioma on ultrasound

“…Chorioangiomas make up 1% of incidentally detected placental mass lesions. These are usually located on the fetal surface of the placenta 1 . Ultrasound with Doppler examination remains the gold standard investigation of choice for the diagnosis, and for differentiating placental chorioangiomas from other placental masses which include degenerated fibroid, organized placental hematoma, partial hydatidiform mole and placental teratoma.…”

“…These are usually located on the fetal surface of the placenta. 1 3 The risks of pregnancy complicated by chorioangioma include fetal anemia, polyhydramnios, hydrops fetalis, antepartum hemorrhage, intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR), and increased perinatal mortality and are related to the procoagulant environment caused due to overexpression of angiogenic cytokines such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). 4 Management options for small sized chorioangiomas may include temporary interventions such as amnioreduction and intrauterine transfusion for severe fetal anemia.…”
