Abstrakt: The authors made a clinicoanatomic analysis of fetal death in a 32-year-old diabetic gravida at 34-35 weeks gestational age. Fetal autopsy identified the characteristic signs of fetopathy: macrosomy, cardiomegaly, hepatomegaly, and brain weight reduction. Histological analysis revealed minute foci of leukomalacia with glial proliferation in the cerebral hemispheres; adipose and hyaline drop degeneration of cardiomyocytes in the heart, that of hepatocytes in the liver, the proximal renal tubular epithelial cells; hemorrhages in the respiratory portions of the lung. The pancreas displayed inflammation foci, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the islets of Langerhans. Immunohistochemical studies identified cells with enlarged nuclei among the beta and alpha-cells. The placenta showed a large mass with pronounced changes. It has been demonstrated that steroid diabetes may lead to the development of diabetic fetopathy and placental changes, which are typical of maternal diabetes.
