Differential diagnosis of fetal thrombotic vasculopathy

FTV Versus Helpful Distinguishing Features
Intrauterine fetal death
  • Fetal vascular changes appear generally uniform in all placental sections

Chronic villitis
  • Patchy lymphohistiocytic infiltrate in villi

  • Inflammation in walls of thrombosed vessels

Mesenchymal dysplasia
  • Extreme vascular distension: varicosities

  • Scattered large hydropic mesenchymal villi

  • Vessel proliferation
