ABSTRACT
Placental chorioangioma is the most frequent benign vascular placental tumor. Its prenatal diagnosis can be made by ultrasound. After analysing our case, we describe clinical and sonographic features of this kind of tumor, maternal and fetal complications and finally, therapic issues. Chorioangioma can be identified by ultrasound as a well-circumscribed solid mass. Its vascular origin can be established by use of color Doppler imaging. Fetal complications are caused by arteriovenous shunting. Maternal complications are polyhydramnios, preeclampsia and placental hematoma. Therapeutic possibilities are reduced. Ultrasound is helpful for diagnosis and follow-up of these tumors who are associated with severe consequences
