[A rare localisation of ectopic pregnancy--a case of hepatic pregnancy]

Ectopic pregnancy is a major gynecologic emergency, and remains a life-threatening syndrome. Hepatic pregnancy is an exceptionally rare form of ectopic pregnancy. The authors present a case of a 28 year old woman, who was admitted to hospital with epigastric pain. Diagnostic investigations showed a rare, 16-week-old ectopic pregnancy in the liver. The authors emphasise the importance of early diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancy in order to reduce maternal mortality.
