Abstract

Chorioangioma is a benign tumor of placenta, incidence being 1 in 100 cases. It is mostly diagnosed ultrasonically in the second trimester of pregnancy. Large chorioangiomas render a challenge to obstetricians due to the foeto maternal complications and adverse outcomes. Here by authors present a case report of large chorioangioma with no fetomaternal complications but just for awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and to look out for possible adverse effects on mother and foetus.
