Splenic Pregnancy: A Case Report.

Ectopic pregnancy is defined as implantation of a fertilized ovum in tissue other than the endometrium. Its incidence is 19.7 per 1000 pregnancies [1–3]. The most common site of ectopic implantation is ampulla of the fallopian tube, accounting for more than 92% of all ectopics [1–5]. Abdominal pregnancies account for approximately 1.4% of all ectopic pregnancies and occur with direct implantation onto the peritoneal surface. Abdominal pregnancies have been described in extrapelvic organs like omentum, liver, spleen, small and large intestine [1–3, 6, 7]. The spleen is one of the rare sites for ectopic gestation, and to our knowledge, only ten cases of primary splenic pregnancy have been documented in literature till date.
