Abstract

Ipsilateral ectopic pregnancy after total salpingectomy is a rare occurrence and in theory should not happen. We report a case where a spontaneous ectopic pregnancy was found in the stump of the previously removed tube. This case highlights the need for further consideration of the diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy in the setting of a previous ipsilateral salpingectomy.
