title: Choriocarcinoma associated with ectopic pregnancy after tubal sterilisation.
abstract: A 33-year-old highly parous woman developed severe abdominal pain and signs of circulatory collapse 10 months after tubal sterilisation in the absence of symptoms of pregnancy. A ruptured ectopic pregnancy sited interstitially in the right tube and extending into the myometrium and parametrium was found at laparotomy. Histopathologic examination revealed an ectopic pregnancy consisting of choriocarcinoma--a rare but life-threatening combination in a sterilised woman.
