Abstract
We report a case of chorioangioma of the placenta, in which fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was useful adjunct to ultrasonography for the antenatal diagnosis. MRI allowed clear demonstration of 6.8 × 6.0 cm solid placental mass along with hydramnios and anatomically normal fetus. On T 1-weighted breath-hold spoiled gradient-echo (fast low-angle shot [FLASH]) images, chorioangioma was mostly isointense to the placenta, but had an area of high signal intensity near the base and at the periphery, suggestive of hemorrhage. On T 2-weighted half-Fourier single-shot fast spin echo (HASTE) images, the mass showed heterogeneous high signal intensity, but had an area of low signal intensity near the surface.
