Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is defined as a pregnancy that implants outside the uterine cavity. Its reported incidence is 1-2% of total pregnancies. However the female with a previous ectopic pregnancy has a fourfold chance of recurrent ectopic pregnancy but recurrence of ectopic pregnancy in distal remaining portion of fallopian tube after ipsilateral proximal salpingectomy is extremely rare. Due to its rarity here we present a case of ectopic pregnancy occurring in distal remaining portion of fallopian tube after proximal ipsilateral salpingectomy.
