Chorangiosis is a relatively common placental pathology. It should not be confused with chorangioma.

General

  • Relative common among babies in ICU ~5%.[1]
  • Increased fetal morbidity and mortality.[2]

Associations:

Gross

  • Usually not seen on gross pathology.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Increased blood vessels in the terminal villi.
    • Altshuler criteria: "a minimum of 10 villi, each with 10 or more vascular channels, in 3 or more random, non-infarcted placental areas when using a ×10 ocular."[6][7][8]
      • The definition suffers from IPFitis.
  • Lesion not well circumscribed.
  • Villi tend to be larger and have centrally placed blood vessels.[9]

Notes:

  • Normal villi have up to five vascular channels.[7]

PLACENTA, UMBILICAL CORD AND FETAL MEMBRANES, CESAERIAN SECTION:
- PLACENTAL DISC WITH CHORANGIOSIS.
- THREE VESSEL UMBILICAL CORD WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- FETAL MEMBRANES WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.

COMMENT:
Chorangiosis is a nonspecific finding that may be associated with diabetes, smoking or
high altitude.
PLACENTA, UMBILICAL CORD AND FETAL MEMBRANES, CESAERIAN SECTION:
- PLACENTAL DISC WITH:
-- CHORANGIOSIS.
-- FOCAL PERIVILLOUS FIBRIN DEPOSITION.
- THREE VESSEL UMBILICAL CORD WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- FETAL MEMBRANES WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.

COMMENT:
Chorangiosis is a nonspecific finding that may be associated with diabetes, smoking or high altitude.

Chorangiosis and meconium

PLACENTA, UMBILICAL CORD AND FETAL MEMBRANES, CESAERIAN SECTION:
- THREE VESSEL UMBILICAL CORD WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- FETAL MEMBRANES WITHIN MECONIUM STAINING OF THE AMNION, NEGATIVE FOR CHORIOAMNIONITIS.
- PLACENTAL DISC WITH:
-- CHORANGIOSIS.
-- FOCAL PERIVILLOUS FIBRIN DEPOSITION.

COMMENT:
Chorangiosis is a nonspecific finding that may be associated with diabetes, smoking or high altitude.
