- Abstract
Abdominal pregnancies are a small fraction of ectopic pregnancies. They usually implant on the peritoneal surface after partial disruption of the initial implantation site in the tubes. The pelvic cavity is the preferential site, but they have been reported from all over the peritoneal cavity. In the present case the pregnancy was situated on the surface of the right liver lobe. Abdominal pregnancies usually present with acute hemoperitoneum and the pre-operative diagnosis is extremely difficult. The possible role of IUDs as an etiological factor is briefly discussed.
