title: [Unusual manifestation of lipocalcinogranulomatosis (Teutschländer) within the placenta (author's transl)].
abstract: Lipocalcinosis placentae is reported on a 27 years old primipara, who showed lipocalcinogranulomatosis since childhood. The absence of the typical granulomatous tissue with giant cells of foreign body may type be explained by the particular localization and with the absence of mechanical injuries. Despite of the widespread necrosis and calcinosis, abortion did not occur. The remaining chorionic villi have compensated the defect by hyperplasia and hyperaemia, which points to the fact, that a severe dystrophic placenta calcinosis may not necessarily result to abortion. The localisation of lipocalcinosis within the placenta points to a primary thesaurismosis and not to a circumscribed disturbance of lipid metabolism. It is reported on the result of lipid analysis of the placenta. Comparable changes in the different stages of atherosclerosis are discussed.
