The presence of multiple large (>1 Mb) copy number variants (CNVs) in non‐malignant tissue is rare in human genetics. We present a liveborn male with a birth weight below the first percentile associated with placental mosaicism involving eight 2.4–3.9 Mb de novo duplications. We found that the duplications likely co‐localized to the same cells, were mosaic in the placenta, and impacted maternal and paternal chromosomes. In addition, 27.4 Mb and 240 genes were duplicated in affected cells, including candidate placental genes  KISS1  and  REN . We ruled out involvement of homologous recombination‐based mechanisms or an altered epigenome in generating the CNVs. This case highlights the diversity of genetic abnormalities in the human placenta and the gaps in our knowledge of how such errors arise.
