Figure 2

(a) At the cutting the area was of solid appearance with triangular base on the fetal side, near to the cord insertion, with a maximum size of 7 cm. (b) By microscopic examination the lesion was composed of proliferation of capillary structures of small caliber, single coated with endothelial cells (100x). (c) The CD31, a specific marker of endothelial cells, puts greater emphasis on the typical structure of a placental chorioangioma (400x).
