Chorioangiomas are non-trophoblastic placental tumours, commonly located near the cord insertion and are characterized by excessive vascular proliferation within the chorionic villi. Small chorioangiomas are common but giant chorioangiomas are quite rare and present with complications like preterm delivery, polyhydramnios, hydrops, growth restriction, thrombocytopenia and fetal death. The pathogenesis of various feto-maternal complications can be attributed to this indolent entity. So, early diagnosis, close fetal monitoring and timely intervention are crucial to prevent feto-maternal morbidity and mortality. Here, we report a case of giant chorioangioma that led to intrauterine fetal death.
