Histopathology of placenta with increased syncytial knotting of chorionic villi, with two knots pointed out. The following characteristics of placentas have been said to be associated with placental insufficiency, however all of them occur in normal healthy placentas and full term healthy births, so none of them can be used to accurately diagnose placental insufficiency: [citation needed]
Calcification is the accumulation of calcium salts in a body tissue. It normally occurs in the formation of bone , but calcium can be deposited abnormally in soft tissue , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] causing it to harden.
Ischemic placental disease leads to the attachment of the placenta to the uterine wall to become under-perfused, causing uteroplacental ischemia. Where the term overarches the pathology associated with preeclampsia , placental abruptions and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). [ 3 ]

According to one 2023 study, calcification occurs in more than a third of Peyronie’s disease cases. In these cases, calcium deposits form within the Peyronie’s scar tissue, resulting in the ...
A placental infarction results from the interruption of blood supply to a part of the placenta, causing its cells to die.. Small placental infarcts, especially at the edge of the placental disc, are considered to be normal at term.
