N2  - ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare, life-threatening variant of ectopic pregnancy, and thus its diagnosis and management remain controversial.

CASE: A multigravida was admitted for complaints of abdominal swelling that had been occurring for 2 years and symptoms of pregnancy in the 3 months before admission. Radiologic studies revealed a live intraabdominal pregnancy at 15 weeks of gestation with a concurrent lithopedion of advanced gestation. The patient underwent laparotomy, removing both fetuses; the placenta was left in situ. She was discharged 1 week later in good condition.

CONCLUSION: The case of a concurrent lithopedion of advanced gestation and a live intraabdominal ectopic pregnancy was successfully managed
