Examination of the placenta in a problem pregnancy is potentially very valuable, yielding information about the nature and duration of processes occurring in gestation. Such evaluation requires thoughtful gross examination, careful sectioning, and an understanding of the basic microscopic changes in a variety of pathologic processes. As there are very few absolute associations in placental pathology, it is most important to appreciate the range of normal in assessing the potential importance of lesions. This chapter has tried to provide the essential relevant material, with emphasis on commonly encountered problem areas, and a variety of topics potentially related to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
对有问题的妊娠胎盘进行检查可能非常有价值，可提供有关妊娠过程中发生的病理性质和持续时间的信息。这种评估需要进行细致的大体检查、仔细的切片，并了解各种病理过程中的基本微观变化。由于胎盘病理学中几乎没有绝对的关联，因此在评估病变的潜在重要性时，了解正常范围最为重要。本章试图提供基本的相关材料，重点是常见的问题领域，以及各种可能与母婴发病率和死亡率相关的主题。
