Features:<ref name=Ref_Placenta368>{{Ref Placenta|368}}</ref>
*+/-Thickened placenta.
*Maternal aspect of placental disc irregular or lobulated appearance.

Features:
*Extensive fibrin deposition around villi on maternal aspect - see: ''[[Perivillous fibrin deposition]]''.

PLACENTA, UMBILICAL CORD AND FETAL MEMBRANES, BIRTH:
- THREE VESSEL UMBILICAL CORD WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- FETAL MEMBRANES WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- SMALL PLACENTAL DISC WITH MASSIVE PERIVILLOUS FIBRIN DEPOSITION, SEE COMMENT.
 
COMMENT:
Massive perivillous fibrin deposition (MPVFD) is associated with intrauterine
growth restriction (IUGR). MPVFD is described in association with in
anti-phospholipid antibody (APLA) syndrome, pregnancy-induced hypertension and
congenital infections. Perivillous fibrin deposition may be seen in diabetes.
 
There is no apparent infection. Changes suggestive of decidual vasculopathy
are not apparent. Changes suggestive of fetal thrombotic vasculopathy are
not identified.
