Abstract:
Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Various sites of implantation in abdominal pregnancy have been reported. Uterine serosa is an extremely rare implantation site, with only a few cases reported to date. No case of abdominal pregnancy implanted on the surface of a subserosal uterine leiomyoma has been reported. We herein report the case of a 40-year-old primigravida woman who was diagnosed with abdominal pregnancy implanted on the surface of a pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyoma. The uterine leiomyoma with gestational tissue was resected laparoscopically and the postoperative course was uneventful. It is necessary to remember the possibility of unexpected implantation sites and that laparoscopic surgery may be more difficult in such cases than that for fallopian tube pregnancy.
