Abdominal Pregnancy in the Liver: A Case Report / 대한산부인과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Abdominal pregnancies are rare forms of ectopic pregnancies. Although the pelviccavity is the preferential site, a small fraction of abdominal pregnancies has been found inthe upper abdominal cavity, e.g., the omentum, the spleen, the liver etc. In this manuscript,we first report a Korean case of hepatic pregnancy which was highly suggested by operativefindings. A 24-year-old woman underwent laparotomy under the impression ofhemoperitoneum and ectopic pregnancy. An 1 x 1x 0.5cm sized mass was removed from thesurface of the right lobe of the liver. Microscopically, the chorionic villi were demonstrated.The patient had a successful recovery.
