                       ž The most common location of an ectopic pregnancy is within the fallopian tube, specifically the ampulla of the tube.
ž Other locations for ectopic implantation include the isthmus of the tube, the fimbria, abdomen, cornu of the uterus, ovary, and cervix, with the least common locations being the latter two.
ž Though rare, patients can have an ectopic pregnancy and intrauterine pregnancy coexisting.
¡ This is termed a heterotopic pregnancy. Copyright © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
