ABSTRACT
Ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening condition and mostly ectopic pregnancies occurs in fallopian tube. The most common site of ectopic tubal pregnancy is ampulla. Ectopic pregnancy is a complication of pregnancy and usually easy to diagnose by ultrasonography during the first trimester of pregnancy. Due to limited healthcare resources in developing countries, women do not undergo for ultrasound examination during pregnancy which leads to late diagnosis. In most of cases women with ectopic pregnancy are asymptomatic, unless ruptured. The mean gestational age for clinical presentation of ectopic pregnancy is 7.2 weeks after the last normal menstrual period. In rural population, late presentations of ectopic pregnancies are more commonly seen because of lack of modern diagnostic ability. Present case report is a rare case of non-viable, unruptured, tubal ampullary chronic ectopic pregnancy of 12 weeks gestational age.
