Abstract

Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical significance of large (>5cm) placental chorioangioma. Obstetrical and neonatal records which were confirmed chorioangioma in pathology and greater than 5 cm in diameter, were reviewed retrospectively from April. 1, 1991, to March. 31, 1996. 11 cases of placental chorioangioma greater than 5 cm were diagnosed prenatally by ultrasonography except one. I'hey were associated with maternal or fetal complications-6 cases of polyhydramnios, 2 cases of PIH, 1 case of neonatal anemia, 2 cases of preterm birth, 2 cases of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, 1 case of cardiomegaly, 1 case of IUGR and 1 case of oligohydramnios. Nevertheless, there were not remarkable neonatal morbidity and mortality. These uncommon large tumors were often associated with maternal or fetal complications. But, we could get good neonatal outcome through thorough antenatal surveillance.
