title: [Pathologic anatomy of large fetuses].
abstract: A controlled clinicomorphological study of 170 big fetuses versus 70 medium body mass fetuses (controls) was performed with a special emphasis on the endocrine regulation in the functional system mother-placenta-fetus. Clinically, there was no evidence of mother's endocrine system pathology, though morphological studies (histological, histochemical, morphometric, immunofluorescent) revealed significant morphofunctional peculiarities of adenohypophysis, epiphysis, thyroid gland, adrenal cortex, endocrine apparatus of the pancreas and placenta in big fetuses in comparison with those in medium body mass fetuses.
