Abstract

A 2nd gravida presented at 27 weeks with antepartum hemorrhage. Ultrasound showed a single
live fetus (parameters ~23 weeks) and a huge placenta with multiple cystic areas extending into the
lower uterine segment; some of which showed increased vascularity on colored doppler. A diagnosis
of low lying placenta with a possibility of chorangioma or a partial mole was made. The next bout
of antepartum hemorrhage was severe necessitating an emergency cesarean. Histopathology of
the placenta (weighing 2240 grams) revealed a myxoid chorangioma. All features in this woman
are uncommonly reported in literature (large size, myxoid degeneration and severe antepartum
hemorrhage necessitating a cesarean).

Key Words: Placental Chorangioma; Placental Chorioangioma,
Antepartum Hemorrhage, Myxoid.
