Abstract:
A 29-year-old female who received assisted reproductive therapy (IVF) in our infertility clinic, at gestational age of 7w + 2d following embryo transfer, presented with a favorable rise of β-hCG level with no detectable gestational sac in the uterine cavity in the vaginal ultrasonogram. First dose of MTX (78) with simultaneous β-hCG titration of 110,000 pg/mL was administered. The patient underwent a second TVS in which a mass in favor of molar ectopic pregnancy was reported. With the suspicion of a molar EP the patient underwent explorative laparotomy. A 3x4 cm mass which was found adjacent to the right ovary was resected. Final pathology report was compatible with partial molar pregnancy. In the follow up period after surgical resection the patient recovered completely without any recurrence.
