Overview

In addition to the well-known group of inflammations of infectious etiology, placental inflammations arising on immunological basis are also encountered. The incidence of the latter far exceeds the group of infectious lesions of the placenta caused mainly by microorganisms of the TORCH group.

Given the current knowledge of the possible complications of these inflammations, their precise diagnosis becomes more important not only from the clinicopathological point of view, but also because of potential forensic consequences.

The aim of this article is to provide readers with a basic overview of the morphology, classification, presumed pathogenesis and clinical aspects of these entities.

Keywords:
