Large chorioangiomas have dismal prognosis due to their high association with maternal and fetal complications.

On admission, ultrasound showed an intrauterine fetal demise at 27 weeks 3 days gestational age and polyhydramnios. The placenta was enlarged and a well defined heteroechoic area of 6x6.1 cm2 noted within it. Patient expelled macerated baby on day 2 of admission. The placenta weighed 1.3 Kgs and was soft, friable and pale with 6x5cm2 lobulated mass within the placental substance. Histopathology showed chorioangioma of placenta.
