A rare case of molar cornual ectopic pregnancy was successfully treated. This presentation highlights the importance of considering ectopic molar pregnancies in surgical abdominal cases.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecologic Oncology

Background:

  • Ectopic pregnancies, particularly molar variants, are infrequently documented.
  • Cornual pregnancies represent a rare subtype of ectopic gestation with significant risks.

Observation:

  • A 12-week pregnant patient presented with symptoms suggestive of a molar pregnancy and an acute abdomen.
  • Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed hemoperitoneum, necessitating exploratory laparotomy.
  • Intraoperative findings included cystic, villous tissue originating from the uterine cornu.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection confirmed a partial molar pregnancy within the right uterine cornu.
  • Histopathological analysis of the resected tissue revealed molar changes.
  • Subsequent suction dilation and curettage (D&C) yielded no molar tissue, indicating complete removal.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the diagnostic and surgical challenges of molar cornual ectopic pregnancies.
  • Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for managing this rare obstetric emergency.
  • Further research into the management of ectopic molar gestations is warranted.
