Abstract
We present a case of recurrent massive perivillous fibrin deposition (MPVFD) in a patient with polymyositis (PM). Massive perivillous fibrin deposition occurred in 2 consecutive pregnancies: the 1st ended in an intrauterine death at 34 weeks of gestation, while the 2nd pregnancy resulted in a live-born baby at 32 weeks of gestation. The association between MPVFD and PM has been rarely reported in the literature in the form of case reports of single pregnancies.
