Primary omental pregnancy on the gastrocolic ligament.
Omental pregnancy is an extremely rare form of abdominal pregnancy. Only 16 cases had been reported in the literature, and most were secondary omental pregnancies. We presented a case of primary omental pregnancy located on "gastrocolic ligament" diagnosed at surgical operation. The aim of this presentation is to remember that pregnancy can exist in unusual localizations, so abdominal observation and examination is very important during operations.
