Abstract
We report a patient who had raised serum and amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein levels at 16 weeks gestation. Ultrasonography revealed an apparently normal fetus and amniography displayed a soft tissue tumor in front of the fetus. The tumor turned out to be a placental haemangioma, when an apparently healthy girl weighing 2.88 kg was born at term.Keywords
