title: Ectopic pregnancy in an undescended fallopian tube: a diagnostic challenge.
abstract: Uterine malformations are the most frequent anomalies of the Müllerian ducts, but undescended ovaries and fallopian tubes are very rare congenital defects. Pregnancy in these misplaced organs may occur, frequently posing a diagnostic challenge. A case of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in an undescended fallopian tube associated with other genital malformations is presented. This case provides evidence for the recognised phenomenon of peritoneal gametes or embryo transmigration.
