Abstract :
Placental mesenchymal dysplasia is an underdiagnosed and a rare vascular anomaly of the placenta. It is characterized by the presence of grape-like vesicles, which, on ultrasonography gives the appearance of a partial mole. Histologically it can be differentiated by partial mole by the absence of trophoblastic proliferation. It is essential to make a correct diagnosis as the management and outcome of both these entities are vastly different. We present this case of placental mesenchymal dysplasia, not just because of its rarity but to highlight its radiological, gross and histopathological features to keep it in mind as a differential diagnosis and in making the correct diagnosis.
