    Author: Ulrich B, Heidenreich W, Borgmann U.
    Journal: Z Geburtshilfe Neonatol; 1999; 203(4):173-5. PubMed ID: 10483701.
    Abstract:
    1. A 26-year-old secondgravida presented at 26 weeks' gestation with severe vaginal bleeding. A caesarean was performed which led to a 880 g female infant with multiple malformations (Wolf-Hirschhorn-Syndrome). It deceased short time later. 2. A 27-year-old second-gravida at 37 weeks' gestation delivered a 1520 g infant by caesarean which was made because of fetal asphyxia. In both cases investigation of the placenta showed capillary chorioangioma. Chorioangiomas are the most common tumors of the placenta. Occasionally they are associated with fetal anomalies and growth retardation. Depending on size complications during delivery must be considered.
