Ectopic pregnancy in the liver. Report of a case and angiographic findings

A 23-year-old woman underwent laparotomy due to physical signs of intra-abdominal bleeding. A 3 X 3 cm bleeding mass adherent to the liver surface was found. Microscopic examination of the removed encapsulated tumour demonstrated an ectopic pregnancy of the liver. Angiography performed on the 10th postoperative day showed a hypervascular lesion in the right liver lobe. The angiographic findings are similar to those previously described in cases of tubal pregnancies.
