Case of spontaneous tubal stump pregnancy after adnexectomy

Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is a significant problem in women of childbearing potential and affects up to 2% of them. The most common ectopic pregnancy localization is the ampullary area of the Fallopian tube. Patient with spontaneous ectopic pregnancy located in the tubal stump after an ipsilateral adnexectomy performed with a laparotomy due to mucinous cystadenoma was operated by laparoscopy. Remnant of Fallopian tube with ectopic pregnancy was removed. The most important lecture from this case is when adnexectomy or salpingectomy is performed, it should be done in the isthmic part, without leaving any remnant.
