title: [Maze-like vascular anomaly in partial mole. Interest for the pathological diagnosis of partial mole on chorionic villous sampling].
abstract: A case of maze-like angiomatoid anomaly in villi obtained by chorionic villous sampling (CVS) is described. This feature is pathognomonic of partial mole (triploid syndrome) and it was later confirmed by chromosomal analysis. Maze-like angiomatoid anomaly was previously described on specimen submitted after spontaneous or induced abortions, but it was never reported on CVS. This report emphasized that microscopic investigation of CVS cannot be conclusive for cytogenetic anomaly in almost all cases excepted for partial mole where diagnosis criteria are usually characteristic.
