[Placental chorioangioma. Echographic diagnosis in the 19th week].

Systematic ultrasound examination made it possible to discover a placental angioma measuring 50 mm in diameter and situated in contact with the feral plaque. This angioma had reached 78 mm in size across its largest diameter by the 23rd week and appeared to become stable thereafter, getting in size towards the 35th week. This state of involution was confirmed when the placenta was examined and it was found there was a second angioma present, and that is was functional, and that there were several microangiomata. The pregnancy, clinically and biologically, was normal throughout and ended with the birth of a healthy girl, who in particular had no enlargement of her heart.
