Abstract

This is an updated review of the recently described entity, placental mesenchymal dysplasia, which has been shown to have recognizable antenatal characteristics, distinctive gross and microscopic pathologic findings, associated fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, and unique pathogenic mechanisms. Recent understanding of the frequently associated genotype, androgenetic biparental mosaicism, is reviewed and the spectrum of changes discussed.
