Advanced non-tubal ectopic pregnancy at the "Hospital Central" of Maputo (Moçambique)

The authors report clinical data and pathological findings from a series of 13 cases of non-tubal ectopic pregnancies which occurred at the Hospital Central of Maputo (Moçambique), during a 14-month period. The rather high frequency of abdominal pregnancy (6 cases diagnosed during the third trimester of gestation) is set in relation to restriction of human resources and diagnostic facilities within the peripheral prenatal clinics.
