Placental chorioangioma is an angioma arising from chorionic tissue. Fetal thanatophoric dysplasia is a lethal skeletal dysplasia due to mutation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene. These two conditions are rare and their coexistence in a given fetus is even rarer. We present a case of a fetus with thanatophoric dysplasia having high‐output cardiac failure due to a large placental chorioangioma. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2011
