This report aims to investigate the association between 47,XXX and fetal hydrops by examining a clinical case and performing a comprehensive review of the relevant literature. A 34-year-old Japanese woman, gravida 2, para 1, was diagnosed with fetal hydrops at 27 weeks' gestation. Prenatal testing revealed a 47,XXX karyotype. Interventions included thoracocentesis and a thoracoamniotic shunt. A cesarean delivery was performed at 34 weeks and the female neonate initially had respiratory challenges. After 69 days in the neonatal intensive care unit, the infant was discharged in stable condition, and the 47,XXX karyotype was confirmed. This case may add evidence suggesting an association between 47,XXX and fetal hydrops. Chromosomal abnormalities are causes of fetal hydrops, but its association with 47,XXX remains unclear. Providing comprehensive information on this condition to couples is crucial, and considering the inclusion of fetal hydrops in the list of associated conditions might be advisable.
