The lithopedion was extensively described and ...
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 ]
The placenta (pl.: placentas or placentae) is a temporary embryonic and later fetal organ that begins developing from the blastocyst shortly after implantation.It plays critical roles in facilitating nutrient, gas and waste exchange between the physically separate maternal and fetal circulations, and is an important endocrine organ, producing hormones that regulate both maternal and fetal ...
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.
Anteroposterior abdominal radiograph shows a soft-tissue mass in the right hemiabdomen. The mass contains calcified osseous-appearing structures of varying sizes and shapes. The postoperative specimen from the previous image shows a fairly well developed fetus lying on its back, with rudimentary digits.
