A case of an infant born in association with a large chorioangioma of the placenta is reported. The mother was complicated with polyhydramnios and premature labor. The fetal complications were congestive heart failure and hydrops fetalis. This case serves to emphasize that it is necessary to examine the placenta in every perinatal autopsy case.
