Abstract
We report a case of a chorioangioma of the placenta which was associat ed with elevated maternal serum HCG in the second trimester, severe ea rly polyhydramnios and premature delivery. Chorioangioma should be con sidered in the differential diagnosis of an elevated HCG observed as p art of the triple test. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
