The paper describes a case of giant (123 x 109 x 70-mm) placental chorioangioma that is a capillary hemangioma in structure, which led to significantly impaired placental-fetal blood flow to give rise to non-immune hydrops and right heart failure in the fetus at 33 weeks' gestation; obvious polyhydramnios developed. This served as an indication for preterm one-stage cesarean delivery. A premature live girl was born with a weight of 2430 g, a height of 44 cm, Apgar score 6-7. Dynamic echographic monitoring makes it possible to record increased placental tumor sizes and fetal abnormalities and to make a timely decision on delivery, which promotes perinatal death prevention. At 11-month follow-up, the child's physical and mental developments were for age.
