In twins, ETCV may affect only one chorionic plate, a feature defined as \u201cdiscordant\u201d. We present a case of ETCV discordance in a diamniotic dichorionic placenta at 38 weeks of gestation, in which the female twin was small for gestational age, weighing 2670 g (25th percentile). The corresponding placental territory presented ETCV in two close chorionic vessels with concordance of the fetal inflammatory response. Immunohistochemistry showed an abundance of CD3+\/CD4+\/CD25+T lymphocytes, CD68 PG M1+ macrophages, and scattered CD8+ T cells with focal TIA-1 positivity. Granzyme B, CD20 B lymphocytes, and CD56 natural killer cells were negative. High-grade villitis of unknown etiology (VUE) was additionally found and displayed comparable ETCV findings, except for an equivalent ratio of CD4+\/CD8+ T cells, but TIA-1 was focally expressed. VUE was associated with chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI). The combination of ETCV, VUE, and CHI may have been responsible for reduced fetal growth. Concordance was observed in the ETCV and TIA-1 expression, both in ETCV and in VUE, which is a maternal response. These findings may suggest a common antigen or chemokine pathway to which both mother and fetus accordingly responded.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24119207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,25]],"date-time":"2023-05-25T02:58:48Z","timestamp":1684983528000},"page":"9207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Discordant Eosinophilic\/T-Cell Chorionic Vasculitis in a Dichorionic Diamniotic Placenta"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Evelina","family":"Silvestri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Fetal and Neonatal Pathology, Division of Pathology, San Camillo-Forlanini Hospital, 00152 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2619-9153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesca","family":"Servadei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomic Pathology, Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d, 00133 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ione","family":"Tamagnini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology Unit, Azienda USL-IRCCS di Reggio Emilia, 42123 Reggio Emilia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Moretti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology Unit, Azienda USL-IRCCS di Reggio Emilia, 42123 Reggio Emilia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4889-1944","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Paola","family":"Bonasoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology Unit, Azienda USL-IRCCS di Reggio Emilia, 42123 Reggio Emilia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"350","DOI":"10.1007\/s10024-001-0128-9","article-title":"Eosinophilic\/T-cell chorionic vasculitis","volume":"5","author":"Fraser","year":"2002","journal-title":"Pediatr.
