| Heterotopic pregnancy refers to the simultaneous development of an intrauterine
pregnancy and an extrauterine pregnancy. We experienced a case of a ruptured heterotopic
pregnancy for a patient with a history of a right segmental salpingectomy from
an ectopic pregnancy. The 30-year-old patient with amenorrhea for six weeks complained
of lower abdominal pain with hypovolemic shock. Transabdominal ultrasonography
showed diffuse hemoperitoneum with a structure similar to an ectatic tube or a
deformed cyst with no echogenic double ring or peripheral hypervascularity in the right
adnexa and an intrauterine gestational sac. We considered a ruptured corpus luteum
cyst as an ultrasonographic finding and found a ruptured tubal mass in the right
salpinx and hemoperitoneum through an emergency laparotomy. We performed a
right salpingectomy, and the histopathologic report confirmed ectopic pregnancy. |
