Primary pregnancy in the liver. A case report.
A case of intra-hepatic pregnancy is reported. The patient was 32 years old and presented with an acute intra-abdominal hemorrhage. At surgery a spongy 3 x 2 x 1.5 cm mass was removed from the right liver lobe. Microscopically, well developed chorionic villi appeared invading the liver tissue. The patient had a relatively uneventful recovery.
