ABSTRACT

Background: Molar pregnancy is a rare condition; its ectopic form is even rarer occurring in 1.5 per 1,000,000 pregnancies. Aim: We report a case of ectopic molar pregnancy located in the fallopian tube and draw attention to the importance of systematic histological examination in any ectopic pregnancy. Case report: A 32-year-old primigravida woman presented with metrorrhagia in a context of about 2 months of amenorrhea. An ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasonography. A Laparotomy was performed and a ruptured left ampullary ectopic pregnancy was found, and a total left salpingectomy was performed. The pathologic examination and the histological examination show an aspect of a partial molar ectopic tubal pregnancy. Conclusion: Ectopic molar pregnancy is a rare entity, its diagnosis requires histological confirmation. Beta-HCG monitoring is the essential tool for monitoring the postoperative evolution.
