ABSTRACT
A 33 year old second gravida presented with decreased fetal movements and pain abdomen. The placenta was sent for histopathological examination, following a spontaneous vaginal delivery. Placenta showed a grey brown nodule which on microscopy showed a complex network of vascular channels favouring a diagnosis of chorangioma. Chorangiomas are rare tumours associated with adverse fetal outcomes; hence they are important entities to diagnose.
Key words: chorangioma, giant, vascular, placenta
