Placental hemangioma is considered to be associated with a high rate of maternal and fetal complications. We report a case where ultrasonography revealed the placental tumor at 28 weeks gestation. The patient was kept under strict surveillance which permitted diagnosis of pre‐eclampsia at 34 weeks gestation with successful termination of pregnancy at 37 weeks. The ultrasonic features of the tumor are described and the clinical implication discussed.
