ABSTRACT

Background: Chorioangioma is the most common benign placental tumour (1%). If these are greater than 5 cm, it can cause various maternal-fetal complications, so it is important to perform your prenatal diagnosis.
Clinic case: Female patient of 25 years-old, attended at the Hospital Español de Beneficencia de Pachuca with suggestive diagnosis with fetus of 19.2 weeks, according to the ultrasound of the first trimester; in the imaging study cranial oedema was observed; cardiac-thoracic area 0.55 (abnormal), compatible with severe cardiomegaly. The maternal Doppler ultrasound showed the placenta in the anterior location and tumour of 7.53 x 6.74 x 6.33 cm, with hyperechoic and hypoechoic zones, which protruded the fetal surface of the placenta, above the insertion of the umbilical cord; the feeding vessels with a maximum diameter of 3 mm, located superficially and close to the insertion of the cord. In the evaluation of fetal Doppler ultrasound: ACM-PVS: 33.5 cm/s, 1.37 MoM, mild anaemia and DV IP 1.02 (› p95 abnormal); In the cord umbilical vein pulsatile flow was observed, maximum pool of 5.81 cc and cervical length of 4 cm. While a multidisciplinary team was formed, expectant treatment was agreed upon until birth; however, soon after, the fetus died due to hemodynamic repercussions. The histopathological study confirmed the diagnosis of chorioangioma (placental hemangioma), 7 cm in greatest diameter.
Conclusions: It is important to report the cases of placental chorioangioma, with the purpose of contributing with the knowledge and estimating maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality rates.
