    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Developmental Biology
    • Reproductive Science

    Background:

    • Ectopic pregnancies, where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, are rare in guinea pigs.
    • Understanding implantation sites is crucial for reproductive health and developmental studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document and describe an unusual case of advanced ectopic pregnancy in a guinea pig.
    • To detail the specific locations of fetal and placental implantation within the peritoneal cavity.

    Main Methods:

    • Gross examination of a strain 13/N guinea pig during its third pregnancy.
    • Identification and description of fetal and placental structures found outside the uterus.

    Main Results:

    • Two completely developed fetuses were identified within the peritoneal cavity.

  • One placenta was attached to the left peritoneal wall; the second adhered to the stomach's pyloric region.

    • Conclusions:

    • This case highlights the possibility of advanced ectopic pregnancies in guinea pigs with unique implantation sites.
    • Further research may be needed to understand the mechanisms and implications of such occurrences in this species.
