Abstract

This is a report of a late, primary abdominal pregnancy presenting as an IUD in Gynae out-patient department of Services Hospital, Lahore. Despite ultrasonography initially the diagnosis was missed, which is not an exception. After diagnosis abdominal delivery with placental retention was carried out followed by methotrexate therapy. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose such rare cases specially when they have a wide range of presentations.
