A case of ectopic pregnancy in the remnant tube after ipsilateral adnexectomy

Abstract

  Ectopic pregnancies account for approximately 1-2% of all pregnancies.

  Although most ectopic pregnancies occur in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, ectopic pregnancy in the remnant tube after previous ipsilateral salpingectomy is also reported.

  We report a case of spontaneous ectopic pregnancy occurring in the remnant tube after previous ipsilateral adnexectomy.

  A history of adnexectomy or salpingectomy cannot exclude ectopic pregnancy on the ipsilateral side. Attention should be paid to the remnant tube so as to not miss an ectopic pregnancy after adnexal surgery.
