Giant placental chorioangioma is a rare, benign, vascular hamartoma of the placenta of >4-5 cm in size, since size beyond this range is associated with adverse perinatal outcome. This is a case of giant placental chorioangioma with severe polyhydramnios and foetal anemia. Serial ultrasound surveillance was able to detect foetal anemia due to the arteriovenous shunt in the chorioangioma. Severe polyhydramnios was managed with repeated amnioreduction to relieve the mother. A non-reassuring cardiotocography and suspicion of placental abruption following the last amnioreduction led to an emergency caesarean. Perinatal morbidity was increased due to severe foetal anemia, coagulopathy and prematurity which was successfully managed.
