Abstract
Chorangiomas are benign non trophoblastic vascular neoplasm arising from primitive chorionic mesenchyme. It isthe most frequent placental tumor occurring in 1% of pregnancies. Giant chorangioma(>5 cms) exemplifies adversefetal and maternal outcomes. Chorangiomas need to be differentiated from chorangiosis, chorangiomatosis,inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, leiomyomas, placental infarcts and chorangiocarcinomas. USG is thegold standard for diagnosis of chorangioma. Color Doppler is benificial in differentiation of chorangioma fromdegenerated uterine leiomyoma or associated other placental tumors. Therapeutic interventions of chorangiomais controversial like draining excessive amniotic fluid or surgical intervention like laser coagulation and interstitiallaser therapy. All placentas need to be examined histopathologically for confirmation of diagnosis and todifferentiate from other tumors.
