Abdominal pregnancy. Case report, review of the literature.
Abdominal pregnancy (AP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy (EP). It is a medical emergency because of high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis is essential. Surgery is indicated as soon as the diagnosis is made. We present a case with AP in the third trimester with malformed fetus and left ovarian tumour. The fetus has been extracted at 33 weeks gestational age; the placenta and the ovarian tumour have been removed five weeks later. Pathology showed corpus luteum with hemorrhage, serous cystadenoma, follicular cyst. The fetus died, the woman successfully recovered.
