Introduction: The aim of the presence case-report study was to evaluate the nature of the depicted round subchorionic ‘‘tumor’’ of 81 mm at 12 week of gestation age versus a possible myoma of haematoma and possible affection of fetal growth. Background: We studied serially using color-Doppler technique all the parameters of fetal growth and the tumor was still depicted at 34th week of gestation age ultrasound with the same dimensions and peripheral vascularisation but the fetal measurements started at that time to stay 1 week of gestational age and 3 days behind. Results: From that time a close study of the previous pregnancy started and after the caesarean section at 37th week of gestational age a healthy boy of 2.200 grams was delivered. The neonate admitted in NICU for 7 days for medical care. Discussion: The nature of the removed ‘‘tumor’’ was an haematoma which remained so long time and affected at the end the fetal growth marginally. Three months after delivery the mother examined for endovaginal color-Doppler ultrasound in which increased vascularisation depicted at the site of the described ‘‘tumurous’’ haematoma. Conclusion: The persistence of the haematoma might to be due to specific uterine vascularisation conditions of the posterior uterine wall which permitted its extremely enlongated presence.
