Management plan should be individualized. Termination of pregnancy is the treatment of choice in the first trimester. Expectant treatment has a poor prognosis because of risk of rupture. In this case report we aim to discuss the associated diagnostic dilemma, most appropriate methods of diagnosis and management, with their implications in clinical practice.
