Background. Placental hemangioma belongs to the group of nontrophoblastic tumors. Case report. The paper gives a case of giant placental hemangioma detected at 32 weeks’ gestation. It also describes the course of labor at 35 weeks of pregnancy. There are computed tomographic, histological, and immunohistochemical data on the born placenta. There are also literature data on histological characteristics of the structure of placental hemangiomas, as well as possible pregnancy and labor complications. It is noted that the obstetric tactics for hemangioma mainly depends on its size and the status of the fetus. Conclusion. An observation of giant placental hemangioma is of interest due to its relative rarity and little knowledge of such tumors concerning their importance for fetal development and possible pregnancy complications. The choice of optimum obstetric tactics of management and delivery for pregnant women with placental hemangioma is of importance. © 2017, Bionika Media Ltd. All Rig
