ABSTRACT
Introduction: abdominal ectopic pregnancy is an exceptional abnormality representing 1% of ectopic pregnancies; it is associated with high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The risk of maternal mortality is seven to eight times greater than a tubal ectopic pregnancy and 90 times greater than an intrauterine pregnancy.Case report: young adult Angolan patient with an ectopic abdominal pregnancy diagnosed at the end of pregnancy; successfully treated by caesarean section with live, uncomplicated extraction of the fetus. Removal of the placenta was not attempted as it was implanted in the mesointestinal structure; undergoing treatment with methotrexate after the surgery.
Conclusions: abdominal pregnancy is a complex disease to be diagnosed despite technological advances. Therefore, the health system must establish accessible educational strategies and programs aimed at taking care of female population suspected of ectopic pregnancy. Once an abdominal pregnancy has been diagnosed, it should be interrupted, except the gestational age is advanced. The management of the placenta should be individualized.
