Abstract
We describe an unusual, large atypical cellular chorangioma with abundant m itoses and focal necrosis. Other than premature birth, the prenatal and pos tpartum clinical course was unremarkable for both the mother and baby. Our case and a few similar cases reported in literature suggest that atypical c ellular chorangioma is a benign tumor, despite its worrisome histopathologi c features.
