    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Obstetrics
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Ectopic pregnancy is a critical condition often diagnosed during early pregnancy evaluations.
    • Incidental findings during unrelated surgeries are less commonly reported.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report three cases of incidental ectopic pregnancy.
    • To emphasize the potential for unexpected diagnoses during elective gynecologic procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series review.
    • Surgical findings during elective gynecologic procedures.

    Main Results:

    • Three patients presented with unsuspected ectopic pregnancies.
    • The ectopic pregnancies were discovered during operations for other gynecologic conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Ectopic pregnancy can be incidentally diagnosed during elective gynecologic surgery.
    • Clinicians should maintain awareness of ectopic pregnancy possibilities in diverse surgical contexts.
