General
- Should not be confused with chorangioma.
- 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.
- 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]
