Chorioangiomas are benign angiomas arising from chorionic tissue and they are the most common non-trophoblastic tumors of the placenta, as they are observed in 1% of all pla-centas examined. Most chorioangiomas are small and asymptomatic, often undetected during a prenatal ultrasound, and their clinical significance is still unknown. Large chorio-angiomas, measuring more than 4-5 cm in diameter, can usually be detected prenatally by gray-scale or color Doppler sonography, and may be associated with maternal or fetal complications, such as preeclampsia, maternal mirror syndrome, preterm delivery, non-immune fetal hydrops, fetal growth restriction and fetal demise.

Abstract

Chorioangiomas are benign angiomas arising from chorionic tissue and they are the most common non-trophoblastic tumors of the placenta, as they are observed in 1% of all pla-centas examined. Most chorioangiomas are small and asymptomatic, often undetected during a prenatal ultrasound, and their clinical significance is still unknown. Large chorio-angiomas, measuring more than 4-5 cm in diameter, can usually be detected prenatally by gray-scale or color Doppler sonography, and may be associated with maternal or fetal complications, such as preeclampsia, maternal mirror syndrome, preterm delivery, non-immune fetal hydrops, fetal growth restriction and fetal demise. We herein describe the clinical-pathological features of a monocentric series of 30 placental chorioangiomas and discuss their clinical-pathological features and possible molecular mechanisms underlying their development
