Abstract

Primary splenic ectopic pregnancy is quite a rare condition. It is predominantly composed of chorionic tissues. Ectopic pregnancy in the abdomen is seldom seen, accounting for fewer than two percent of all ectopic pregnancies, but for it to be in the spleen is exceptionally rare. Its etiology is very complicated. In this report the authors describe an extremely rare case of advanced splenic ectopic pregnancy in a 35-year-old woman. The clinical presentation, radiological features, and histopathologic findings are described, and the relevant literature is reviewed.
