Placental chorangioma is a rare, benign, placental neoplasm associated with a myriad foetomaternal and neonatal complications. Voluminous chorangiomas have frequent complications and adverse outcomes. The successful outcome of a pregnancy complicated by a voluminous chorangioma is reported herein, with the literature review. Chorangiomas mostly occur in primiparous women over 30years of age, complicated by polyhydramnios, placenta praevia, ante-partum haemorrahage, premature separation of membranes, premature labour, toxaemia of pregnancy, hydrops foetalis and midterm intrauterine death. The neonatal period may be complicated by effects of low birth weight, cardiomegaly, cardiac failure, anaemia, thrombocytopenia and unsuspected congenital anomalies. This case had an unusually uneventful antenatal period for 36weeks, culminating in a medically unassisted, spontaneous, vaginal, breech delivery with a successful pregnancy outcome, in spite of having a voluminous chorangioma.
