ACARDIA FETUS: INCIDENTALLY DISCOVERED PLACENTAL MASS
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 22
Abstract
Fetus acardia is a rare and serious complication of monozygotic twin gestation which usually presents as a placental mass. We encountered a case of acardia fetus as a skin covered placental mass which was incidentally detected during delivery of a live female baby. Grossly central area of the mass was bony hard and showed vertebral organization. Periphery was firm with a myxoid appearance. Histology of the mass revealed flattened epidermis, below which is a loose myxoid-mesenchymal tissue containing fat and blood vessels.
