  • Title: Placental abruption and fetal demise secondary to placental metastases from unknown primary: a case report.
    Author: Momeni M, Cantu J, Young AE.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 2013; 58(7-8):341-3. PubMed ID: 23947085.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Although maternal malignancy is relatively common, maternal metastases to the products of conception remains a rare event. There is no available literature that describes the incidence of placental metastases as a cause of abruption and fetal death. importanc CASE: We present an unusual case of placental abruption and disseminated intravascular coagulation leading to fetal demise secondary to placental metastases of unknown origin. CONCLUSION: In our case placental abruption likely resulted from metastases to the intervillous space.
