Villitis of unknown etiology (VUE) and chronic deciduitis with plasma cells (CD) are supposed to be non infectious placental lesions caused by a pathologic immune reaction similar to a host versus graft mechanism. In some investigations, infection of human trophoblastic cells with human papilloma virus (HPV) has been described, and a relationship with miscarriage, preeclampsia, and chronic inflammatory placental lesions has been suspected. Infection with enterovirus, especially Coxsackievirus, has been observed in cases with spontaneous abortion and adverse perinatal outcome, respectively.

This study focused to investigate a possible association of extensive umbilical hypercoiling (displaying an umbilical coiling index [UCI] of at least 1.0 coils/cm), clinical outcome, and associated pathoanatomical placental lesions. Of the 771 singleton placentas from the second and third trimesters submitted for pathoanatomical evaluation, 15 cases (2%) displayed extensive hypercoiling.

Dizygotic twin pregnancies with discordant manifestation of abnormalities with unclear etiology are of interest because they arise in the same environment. We present a dizygotic third trimester twin placenta with discordant villous maturation, one placenta lacking developed syncytiocapillary membranes. The twins were eutrophic with no perinatal or postnatal complications.

Massive perivillous fibrin deposition (MFD) is a morphologically defined severe placental lesion associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality. The etiology is unknown, and recurrence risk in subsequent pregnancies is assumed to be high. In most cases, a pathologic immune reaction is supposed to be responsible for the lesion.
