Abstract
Summary. Chorioangiomas, or placental hemangiomas, are the most common benign placental tumors, with an incidence of 0.2–139 cases per 10,000 births.
The purpose of this article. To describe a case of detection of a large horangioma.
Materials and methods. Ultrasound examination protocols and ultrasound images were used.
Results. This case illustrates the importance of early diagnosis of this pathology and the correct management strategy.
Conclusion. Ultrasound remains the primary method for diagnosing this condition. Timely medical consultation, early diagnosis, and appropriate management help reduce the number of perinatal losses associated with this pathology.
