Abstract EN
Tubal pregnancy concerns 97% of all ectopic pregnancies.
Treatment can be either surgical (salpingostomy or salpingectomy) or medical (methotrexate administration).
We present a case of a pseudotubal pregnancy after methotrexate treatment of a previous ectopic pregnancy.
A37-year-old woman was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy in the left Fallopian tube.
A year ago, she had an ectopic pregnancy in the right tube, which was successfully treated with intramuscular methotrexate.
During laparoscopy, two tubal masses were revealed, one in each Fallopian tube, and bilateral salpingectomy was performed.
Histological analysis confirmed tubal pregnancy in the left Fallopian tube and presence of endosalpingitis in the right tube with no signs of chorionic villi.
The optimal management of such cases has not yet been clarified.
However, evaluation of tubal patency after a medically treated ectopic pregnancy would permit proper counsel of the patient on her fertility options, in order to choose the appropriate method of conception to achieve and accomplish a future pregnancy.
