Abstract
The authors reported a case of molar ectopic pregnancy seen and managed at the maternity unit of the Bobo-Dioulasso Teaching Hospital. The frequency of the molar ectopic pregnancy is difficult to assess. Besides, the histopathological examination of surgical specimen of the salpingectomy is not usual in our setting. For the management, we realized a total left salpingectomy with a histopathological examination of surgical specimens in association with serum b HCG follow up. During post operations period, the patient was put on estro-progestin contraception for a year, a regular checkup of the biological marker of the molar pregnancy till negativation, a clinical, ultrasound and radiological checkup. No anomaly was noticed at the end of the follow up.

Summary
Clinical anatomic entity within the scope of trophoblastic diseases, molar pregnancy remains prevalent in low socioeconomic countries among the majority of the population. Data from the literature indicate the occurrence of the tubal, ovarian and heterotopic location of molar pregnancy [1] [2] [3] [4]. Histopathological examination of surgical specimens of salpingectomy and serum β HCG assay provides the diagnosis and allows the monitoring of the disease which has an evolutionary potential to choriocarcinoma. We report a clinical case observed at the maternity unit of the Bobo-dioulasso Teaching Hospital
