Abstract
A 24-year-old woman, HIV seropositive, LMP ten weeks previously, para 2-0-0-2, presented with complaints of left sided pelvic pain. Her previous pregnancies were terminated by cesarean section with tubal sterilization (Pomeroy technique) in the first pregnancy and by cesarean section with repeated tubal sterilization (Pomeroy technique) in the second one. The pelvic examination revealed cervical motion tenderness and a tender sausage-like mass of about 3 x 4 cm in the left adnexa. Both previously ligated fallopian tubes and a hematosalpinx lying distal to the ligated site of the left tube were revealed in the exploratory laparotomy after a positive culdocentesis. Bilateral salpingectomy was performed. The histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of tubal pregnancy in the left tube and the status post tubal sterilization in the right one. The postoperative course was uneventful.
