Abstract

Tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) in hysterectomised patient is uncommon. It has propensity to be overlooked. We report a rare case of missed tubal ectopic in 46 years old hysterectomised patient. She presented with abdominal pain and adnexal mass on imaging. Diagnosis was only possible intraoperatively owing to overlapping symptoms and imaging features with that of ovarian tumor.
