Chorangiosis
Diagnosis in short

LM increased blood vessels in the terminal villi, diffuse
LM DDx placental villous immaturity
Gross not apparent on gross
Site placenta

Associated Dx diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes, smoking, IUGR

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]
