Abstract

Purpose

We present a case of ectopic pregnancy occurring in the stump of a remnant fallopian tube following ipsilateral adnexectomy for a mature cystic teratoma.

Methods

She had a laparoscopic salpingectomy.

Results

We hypothesize the intrauterine transmigration of the fecundated ovum.

Conclusions

The authors emphasize the rarity of the observed case.
