A rare giant placental chorioangioma with favorable outcome: A case report and review of the literature.

We describe a rare giant placental chorioangioma in a patient who had a favorable outcome with close prenatal surveillance in a 28-year-old primigravida who was referred to our clinic for ultrasound evaluation of a suspected placental mass at 23 weeks' gestation. A detailed ultrasound scan revealed a well-circumscribed, echogenic lesion measuring 11.0 × 10.3 × 7.3 cm and protruding into the amniotic cavity. A diagnosis of placental chorioangioma was made and intensive prenatal surveillance was scheduled. A small-for-gestational age (2,325 g) but normal female neonate was delivered at 37 weeks by cesarean section and discharged from hospital on the second day of the delivery. A giant chorioangioma may not cause any adverse effect to the fetus and may not require any medication or invasive intervention.
