Full term placentawas collected with case history and investigated after delivery of fetus. Two cm pieces were removed from both anemic and normalgroup of placenta fixed in 10% formalin and used for processing and staining.The microscopic study revealed histomorphological abnormalities as increased capillaries per villas,thickening of capillary basement membrane, trophoblastic basementmembrane,cytotrophoplastic proliferation, syncytial knots and fibrosis.
