    A rare case of primary splenic pregnancy is presented. This condition, where pregnancy implants in the spleen, is extremely uncommon and poses significant risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Ectopic pregnancy, implantation outside the uterus, is a critical obstetric emergency.
    • Primary splenic pregnancy, implantation within the spleen parenchyma, is exceptionally rare, with fewer than 20 reported cases globally.
    • Diagnosis and management of splenic pregnancy present unique challenges due to its rarity and potential for severe hemorrhage.

    Observation:

    • This report details a confirmed case of primary splenic pregnancy.
    • The clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging findings, and surgical intervention are described.
    • Management strategies focused on controlling hemorrhage and preserving organ function were employed.

    Findings:

    • The patient successfully underwent surgical management for the primary splenic pregnancy.

  • Post-operative recovery was uneventful, with no immediate complications.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the splenic implantation of the gestational tissue.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to the limited literature on primary splenic pregnancy, enhancing understanding of this rare condition.
    • It highlights the importance of considering rare ectopic implantation sites in differential diagnoses.
    • Effective surgical strategies are crucial for managing splenic pregnancy and improving patient outcomes.
