OBJECTIVE: To report a case of tubal pregnancy in a unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn on the side of the rudiment and its pathology. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT: An 18-year-old woman, primigravida, with tubal pregnancy. INTERVENTION(S): Systemic administration of methotrexate, salpingectomy by laparotomy, and laparoscopic surgery for resection of rudimentary horn. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Emergent laparotomy revealed that the intraperitoneal hemorrhage was caused by the rupture of the tubal pregnancy on the same side as the rudimentary horn of the unicornuate uterus. A corpus luteum was found at the ipsilateral ovary of the rudimentary horn. RESULT(S): Image diagnosis and pathological examination of the rudimentary horn revealed that this uterine malformation was a unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicated, noncavitary rudimentary horn, corresponding to class IIc of the American Fertility Society classification of müllerian anomalies. CONCLUSION(S): This is the first report of a tubal pregnancy on the side of the noncommunicating rudimentary horn with the ipsilateral ovary carrying a corpus luteum in a unicornuate uterus.
