Ectopic pregnancy in a noncommunicating tube of a unicornuate uterus. A case report.
A unicornuate uterus occurred with an ectopic pregnancy in a noncommunicating tube on the left and a normal tube and ovary with a corpus luteum on the right. In such cases the heterotopic tube should be removed to reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy and to eliminate competition between the tubes for the transmigrating sperm and oocyte.
