In the case of a particularly broad and prominent subchorial closing ring, the specimen is called a placenta marginata. A placenta circumvallata is formed when the closing ring is peripherally undergrown by villous trees. In such cases, it does not represent the outermost margin of the placenta; rather, the membranes insert superficially from the fetal surface of the placenta. Placental shape and cord insertion are sometimes regarded as structurally impressive but functionally unimportant parameters.

This designation is the usual term applied to an increased appearance of seemingly polypoid trophoblastic outgrowths at the villous surfaces and to the trophoblastic bridges connecting neighboring villi. Only a small percentage of respective structures represents real trophoblast protrusions and real bridges in the third trimester (see Syncytial Knotting in Chapter 15). Rather, the vast majority are flat sections across trophoblastic surfaces of irregularly shaped and branched villi. Toward term, as well as under hypoxic conditions, the outer shape of terminal villi becomes more irregular, thus increasing the chance of trophoblastic flat sectioning (syncytial knotting).
