Chorangiosis
Diagnosis in short

Chorangiosis. H&E stain.
LM increased blood vessels in the terminal villi, diffuse
LM DDx placental villous immaturity
Site placenta
Associated Dx diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes, smoking, IUGR

Chorangiosis is a relatively common placental pathology.

General

  • Should not be confused with chorangioma.
  • Relative common among babies in ICU ~5%.[1]
  • Increased fetal morbidity and mortality.[2]

Associations:

Gross

  • Usually not seen on gross pathology.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Increased blood vessels in the terminal villi.
    • Altshuler criteria: "a minimum of 10 villi, each with 10 or more vascular channels, in 3 or more random, non-infarcted placental areas when using a ×10 ocular."[6][7][8]
      • The definition suffers from IPFitis.
  • Lesion not well circumscribed.
  • Villi tend to be larger and have centrally placed blood vessels.[9]

Notes:

  • Normal villi have up to five vascular channels.[7]

  • Chorangiosis - intermed. mag. (WC)
