Abstract
There are only a few primary neoplasms of the placenta, but there is a wide variety of maternal malignancies that metastasize to the placenta. This reflects the diversity of neoplasms seen in the maternal population. Fetal tumors may also metastasize to the placenta, but these tumors are derived from a smaller group of congenital neoplasms.
