Subchorionic placental cyst: histopathological and clinical aspects in two cases.
Authors report here two cases of subchorionic placental cysts with diameters of 5 x 6 cm and 10 x 12 cm, respectively, diagnosed by ultrasound in pregnancy. Subsequent histological and biochemical examinations seem to prove their origin from the trophoblastic "X-cells" and confirm their frequent benign nature.
