چکیده
Intramural ectopic pregnancy: a case report A rare condition of ectopic pregnancy, with potential severe consequences if not diagnosed and treated early, is the intramural one. Here, we report the case of a woman with intramural pregnancy. The first suspicion of the presence of such a condition emerged while doing a transvaginal sonography, after which it was decided to excise the mass in order to confirm its nature histologically. The gestational sac was then excised via laparotomy and the following histological examination proved our hypothesis of having come across an intramural pregnancy.
