Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article describes a clinical picture of pregnancy and fertility of a patient with achorionangioma during pregnancy. Chorionangioma is a benign neoplasm that develops from the fetal capillaries that form part of the chorion villus. In most cases, the chorionangioma remains asymptomatic and can become an accidental finding when examining the afterbirth. Quite often this tumor is combined with polyhydramnios (ie, increased amount of amniotic fluid) and malformations in the fetus. The course of pregnancy in chorionangiomas depends primarily on the size of the tumor. The most common in chorionangiomas is polyhydramnios. The degree of expression of polyhydramnios depends on the size of the tumor. Polyhydramniosis is noted in 18-35% of patients with a large node.
