Trophoblast is part of a normal pregnancy. Trophoblasts are derived from the conceptus, i.e. not maternal. Part of the trophoblast forms chorionic villi.

Tumours arising from the trophoblast are dealt with in gestational trophoblastic disease.

Trophoblast table

Based on Shih et al.:[1]

Notes:

  • Keratin is positive in all trophoblastic tissue and negative in decidual tissue.[4]

Chorionic villi

Chorionic villi 101

  • Maternal blood is around villi.
  • Fetal blood (nucleated (fetal) RBCs) in the villi.

Basic histology

  • Syncytiotrophoblasts: outer layer of villus / closer to mother.
  • Cytotrophoblasts: inner layer of villus / closer to fetus.
  • Hofbauer cells: cells in the stroma of the villi, abundant bubbly cytoplasm - villus macrophages.[7]

Chorionic villi 102

Syncytiotrophoblasts

  • Multiple hyperchromatic nuclei, eosinophilic cytoplasm with vacuoles (contain hCG).
    • Large + many irreg. or lobular hyperchromatic nuclei.
    • Eosinophilic vacuolated cytoplasm (contains hCG).
    • Closest to mom - covers cytotrophoblast.[8]

Note:

  • Syncytiotrophoblasts arise from cytotrophoblasts.[9]

Images

  • Syncytiotrophoblasts in seminoma - low mag.

  • Syncytiotrophoblasts in seminoma - intermed. mag.

  • Syncytiotrophoblasts in seminoma - high mag.

  • Syncytiotrophoblasts in seminoma - very high mag.

Cytotrophoblasts

  • Polygonal shape, distinct borders, clear cytoplasm, in cords, single nucleus.
    • Polygonal shaped cells in cords/masses.
    • Distinct cell borders.
    • Covered by syncytiobrophoblast[10] - closer to fetus than syncytiotrophoblasts.
    • Clear cytoplasm.
    • Single uniform nucleus.

Age of villi

Young villi

Old villi

  • Blood vessels present and at the periphery of villi.
  • Syncytial knots.

Villi and age - table

Gestational age Nucleated RBCs Cytotrophoblast /
syncytiotrophoblast 		Villi size Vessels Other
First trimester (<13 weeks[11]) present both can be identified large few; location central
Second trimester (>=13 weeks and <28 weeks[12]) rare cytotrophoblast difficult to identify; syncytial knots uncommon intermediate intermediate; location: central/periphery
Third trimester absent cytotrophoblast indistinct; syncytial knots common small abundant; location: periphery of villi focal calcifications

Notes:

  • The villi size is not very helpful in differentiating second and trimester placentas.

Intermediate trophoblast

  • Abbreviated: IT.

General

Subtypes

Three subtypes of IT are recognized:[1]

  1. Implanation site IT.
  2. Villous IT.
  3. Chorionic-type IT.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Large cells.
  • Eosinophilic cytoplasm.
    • May be multi-nucleated.

Features:[4]

  • EMA +ve in 2nd & 3rd trimester.
