Hello,
hypoechoic lesions in placenta is the most common placental abnormality identified sonographically. If it is not large it is usually of no significance at this gestational age. It may be due to mild leakage of blood into the cystic spaces. Other cause is isolated septal cyst which is seen in 20% of all uncomplicated pregnancies. As long as the lesion is small and single it should not be a concern to you.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
