'''Chorangioma''' is an uncommon pathology of the [[placenta]] that is similar to a [[hemangioma]]. | |||
==General== | |||
*[[Hamartoma]]-like growth in the placenta consisting of [[blood vessel]]s.<ref name=pmid20594143>{{cite journal |author=Amer HZ, Heller DS |title=Chorangioma and related vascular lesions of the placenta--a review |journal=Fetal Pediatr Pathol |volume=29 |issue=4 |pages=199–206 |year=2010 |pmid=20594143 |doi=10.3109/15513815.2010.487009 |url=}}</ref> | |||
Epidemiology: | |||
*Often benign/insignificant; large lesions (>4 cm<ref name=pmid20594143>{{cite journal |author=Amer HZ, Heller DS |title=Chorangioma and related vascular lesions of the placenta--a review |journal=Fetal Pediatr Pathol |volume=29 |issue=4 |pages=199–206 |year=2010 |pmid=20594143 |doi=10.3109/15513815.2010.487009 |url=}}</ref> or >5 cm<ref name=pmid21234259>{{cite journal |author=Lež C, Fures R, Hrgovic Z, Belina S, Fajdic J, Münstedt K |title=Chorangioma placentae |journal=Rare Tumors |volume=2 |issue=4 |pages=e67 |year=2010 |pmid=21234259 |pmc=3019602 |doi=10.4081/rt.2010.e67 |url=}}</ref>) or multiple lesions are significant. | |||
*May be association with: | |||
**Fetal maternal haemorrhage. | |||
**[[Fetal hydrops]]. | |||
**[[IUGR]]. | |||
*Incidence: ~1 in 100 placentas.<ref name=pmid20594143/> | |||
==Gross== | |||
*White lesions. | |||
**Occasionally red lesions. | |||
==Microscopic== | |||
Features:<ref name=pmid20594143/> | |||
*Mass of capillaries - '''key feature'''. | |||
*+/-High cellularity. | |||
*+/-Degenerative changes. | |||
Notes: | |||
*Must be differentiated from [[chorangiomatosis]] (associated with preeclampsia & IUGR) and chorangiosis (assoc. with maternal [[diabetes mellitus]]).<ref name=pmid20594143/> | |||
