Abstract

Chorangioma (or chorioangioma) is the most common primary tumor of the human placenta with an incidence of approximately 1%. It is a single or multiple nodular vascular proliferation most often made up of capillary vessels, more rarely larger vessels. The majority of these tumors are small and without any fetal-maternal impact; but when they are large, they can cause fetal complications (intrauterine growth restriction, polyhydramnios, prematurity and neonatal (anemia, thrombocytopenia, etc). We report a case of placental chorioangioma complicated by intrauterine growth retardation in a 23-year-old primigravidae.
