Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is defined as the implantation of the fertilized ovum outside the uterine cavity. About 95 % of ectopic pregnancies are located in the tube. Nontubal forms of ectopic pregnancy include cervical, ovarian, abdominal, cornual, and intraligamentary pregnancy. The case of a 43-year-old patient, with a health history and a 9-week amenorrhea is presented. After clinical and complementary evaluation, the diagnostic possibility of an ectopic pregnancy was suspected. Her treatment and the final results of the anatomopathological studies are described. An exhaustive bibliographic review of the subject was carried out, without finding any reference to another case of ectopic pregnancy in bladder tissue. Abdominal pregnancy is a rare anomaly that poses a clinical challenge, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to reduce the maternal mortality rate. The decrease in diagnostic errors will be achieved as long as a correlation is established between the clinical findings and investigations. The presentation of this infrequent ectopic implantation requires multidisciplinary treatment.
