Full term placenta was collected with case history and investigated after delivery of fetus. Two cm pieces were removed from both anemic and normal group of placenta fixed in 10% formalin and used for processing and staining. The microscopic study revealed histomorphological abnormalities as increased capillaries per villas, thickening of capillary basement membrane , trophoblastic basement membrane, cytotrophoplastic proliferation,syncytial knots and fibrosis.
