Ectopic molar pregnancy: A rare entity

Abstract

Ectopic molar pregnancy is a relatively rare condition and is reported in about 1.5 every 1,000,000 pregnancies. Ectopic molar pregnancy mimics tubal ectopic pregnancy in clinical features, and treated surgically. We report a case of a woman who was diagnosed with an unruptured tubal pregnancy and underwent laparotomy proceed bilateral salpingectomy. Her serum Bhcg prior to surgery was 74768 IU/ml. Grossly the ectopic pregnancy tissue was that of a molar pregnancy, which was confirmed by histopathology as partial molar pregnancy. She was followed up with serial serum Bhcg till normal. Tubal molar pregnancy is a rare entity and a clinicopathological diagnosis.
