Abstract
An enlarging cystic-solid cord abnormality was found at prenatal ident ification to be an angiomyxoma. Partial in utero decompression of the 16 x 12 x 5 cm cystic component allowed uncomplicated spontaneous vagi nal delivery at 36 weeks' gestation, Doppler studies had shown variabl e systolic/diastolic ratios in the solid component of the angiomyxoma.
