TL;DR: The group agreed on sets of uniform sampling criteria, placental gross descriptors, pathologic terminologies, and diagnostic criteria for placental lesions, which will assist in international comparability of clinicopathologic and scientific studies and assist in refining the significance of lesions associated with adverse pregnancy and later health outcomes.

TL;DR: A complete set of the placental reaction patterns seen with amniotic fluid infection was assembled and validated in the hope that this might provide a standardized diagnostic framework useful for practicing pathologists.

TL;DR: This study represents the first evidence that F. nucleatum may be transmitted hematogenously to the placenta and cause adverse pregnancy outcomes and indicates that invasion may be an important virulence mechanism for F.ucleatum to infect thePlacenta.

TL;DR: A simple conceptual framework is outlined separating placental patterns of injury and maladaptation into three categories of lesions affecting the maternal and fetal vasculature (maldevelopment, obstruction, and disruption) and two categories of inflammatory lesions (infectious and idiopathic).

TL;DR: Correlation of maternal vessel and implantation site lesions with the clinical diagnosis of preeclampsia showed that excessive placental site giant cells and immature intermediate trophoblast were more sensitive and efficient predictors, whereas atherosis and muscularized basal plate arteries were more specific.
