Abstract

Nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis may be caused by a variety of conditions. Chorioangioma is the most common primary benign tumor of the placenta, occuring in 1% of all pregnancy. Most of the tumors are not clinically significant until they exceed 5 cm in diameter. These larger placental chorioangioma have been associated with adverse perinatal and maternal outcomes such as polyhydramnios, premature labor, pregnancy induced hypertention, fetal hydrops, fetal disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, fetal anemia and etc. We report a prenatal diagnosis of nonimmune hydrops fetalis as a consequence of large placental chorioangioma at 24 weeks of gestation in 40-year-old multiparous woman with a brief review of related literatures.
