Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Primary hepatic pregnancy is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy.
  • Diagnosis often relies on surgical findings due to non-specific symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old woman presented with abdominal symptoms indicative of peritonitis.
  • Laparotomy revealed a 2x2 cm bleeding lesion on the superior aspect of the right liver lobe.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination confirmed the presence of chorionic villi and trophoblast cells within the liver lesion.
  • Histopathological analysis verified the diagnosis of primary hepatic pregnancy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering ectopic pregnancy in the differential diagnosis of abdominal emergencies.
