An unusual case of placental chorangioma and intrauterine death: Implications for proper antenatal care and prompt diagnosis

We present an unusual case of placental chorangioma in a 32-year-old female with poor antenatal care. Abdominopelvic ultrasound revealed polyhydramnios with no fetal cardiac activity and suspected placental cyst. An emergency caesarean was performed, and she had still birth of male baby. The cut specimen of the placenta revealed a well-circumscribed marginal mass of 4 cm. Our case emphasizes the importance of regular antenatal screening for early detection of placental abnormalities. While chorangiomas are rare, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of placental masses. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to reduce the maternal and fetal complications associated with chorangiomas. Histological examination of the placenta plays a vital role in differentiating chorangioma from other placental abnormalities with different clinical implications.
