Abstract
Recurrent ectopic pregnancy in the tubal remnant stump after ipsilateral total salpingectomy is rare and exact incidence is unknown. We present a case of spontaneous ectopic pregnancy occurring in the stump of a remnant fallopian tube following ipsilateral total salpingectomy for an ectopic pregnancy, this case demonstrates that salpingectomy does not exclude ectopic pregnancy on the ipsilateral side. Appropriate measures should be taken during surgery to prevent recurrence in tubal stump.
Keywords : Ectopic Pregnancy, Salpingectomy, Tubal Pregnancy, Fallopian tube, Neoplasms, Humans.
