[Fertility after chronic, undiagnosed, ectopic pregnancy. A case observed during a myomectomy]

The authors report a case of a spontaneously absorbed ectopic pregnancy, that was fortuitously discovered during myomectomy in a 26 years old patient. She had been married for three years and had no child. She was seen 15 months later with a pregnancy whose outcome was safe through an elective cesarean section at 39 weeks of gestation. The authors emphasize the difficulties of early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in the context of a developing country.
