Abstract

Chorioangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor of the placenta. Although commonly symptomless, larger tumors may cause serious maternal and fetal complications. We present a case of chorioangioma which was diagnosed as an incidental finding on ultrasound in third trimester and referred to us for management. Color Doppler signified fetal anemia as depicted by hyperdynamic middle cerebral artery flow. Elective casarean section was done and a healthy baby delivered without any adverse outcome.
