“…1,4 In our case, primiparity was the only identified risk factor. In literature, the consensus about the association between the chorioangioma size and high fetal complications and neonatal mortality rates was replicated in the present case.…”

Chorioangiomas are the commonest non-trophoblastic tumors of placenta with an estimated incidence of 1%. The majority of them are small, asymptomatic and only found by careful pathologic examination of the placenta. Occasionally, they can attain a large diameter (≥ 4-5cm) resulting in what is termed ‘giant chorioangioma’ with a high feto-maternal morbidity and mortality rates. We report a case of giant chorioangioma discovered accidentally during a routine obstetric ultrasound. Expectant management was adopted. Ultrasound follow-up revealed several fetal complications; an elective caesarean section was made giving birth to a premature new-born with enormous hepatosplenomegaly, died on the first day of life. Diagnosis and management of chorioangioma represents a stringent challenge for obstetricians due to its potentially serious antenatal complications.

“…Les complications foetales sont les conséquences du vol vasculaire au niveau tumoral, et peuvent aboutir à la prématurité et à la mort foetale in utero. Il peut s'agir de retard de croissance intra-utérin, d'insuffisance cardiaque, d'hydramnios, d'anémie foetale ou de thrombopénie [2,4]. Ces complications apparaissent au deuxième trimestre, et nécessitent une surveillance échographique rapprochée.…”

“…Ces complications apparaissent au deuxième trimestre, et nécessitent une surveillance échographique rapprochée. Le pronostic foetal est variable mais souvent fâcheux pour les tumeurs géantes, celles présentant un flux au doppler et pour les chorio-angiomatoses [3,4]. L'association avec l'hémangiome congénital et l'hémangiome infantile est à rechercher [5].…”

“…In the present case, HPE was assenting of chorioangioma. Furthermore, three patterns of chorioangiomas have been described by Marchetti: 7 angiomatous, cellular, and degenerate -angiomatous being the most recurrent, with numerous small areas of endothelial tissue, capillaries, and blood vessels surrounded by placental stroma. These lesions are thus classified as placental hamartomas rather than true neoplasia, sans any malignant potential.…”
