Abdominal pregnancy resulting in lithopedion is a rare condition constituting only 0.0054% of all pregnancies. This is a case of a 48-year-old Gravida 6 Para 3 (3-0-2-2) who consulted at the emergency room for an ultrasound finding of abdominal pregnancy. The patient had previous imaging done which showed a live intrauterine pregnancy until her fourth ultrasound, showing fetal death in utero. After several months without passage of the products of conception, a repeat ultrasound showed an abdominal pregnancy. Diagnosis of abdominal pregnancies may be difficult, thus it is important to utilize other imaging modalities to confirm the diagnosis. The mainstay for treatment for abdominal pregnancies is laparotomy. However, due to the possible severe hemorrhage that may arise intraoperatively, preoperative and postoperative arterial embolization of feeding vessels may be performed, as was done in the case discussed.

Abdominal pregnancy that is a life threatening variant of ectopic pregnancy, has been a rare event with high maternal mortality. It is very difficult to diagnose a abdominal pregnancy clinically. We have experienced a case of early abdominal pregnancy diagnosed at emergency laparotomy and this case was presented with a brief review of the literatures.

Approximately 1% of ectopic pregnancies are abdominal and may result in life threatening complication. In particular, the omental pregnancy is exceedingly rare and less than 10 cases of omental pregnancy were reported in the world. Even some author insisted there is no real omental pregnancy. Actually the abdominal pregnancy was the result of abortion or rupture of tubal pregnancy or rarely abdominal implantation after uterine rupture. In several select first trimester patients with abdominal pregnancies, laparoscopic managements. were recently reported. We report the first case of omental pregnancy, which diagnosed by chance at diagnostic laparoscopy, 6 weeks after her last menstrual period.

Endometriosis in the abdominal wall following Cesarean section is one of the very rare condition among the extrapelvic endometriosis. Although benign, endometriosis possesses the unique ability to invade tissue and to disseminate or metastasize by hematogeneous, lymphatic route, or direct implantation. We reported the case with brief review of the literature.

Acute abdominal pain during pregnancy may be urologic origin. In this report, perinephric abscess was treated by percutaneous catheter drainage until a term delivery was achieved. We have experienced a case of perinephric abscess of pregnancy and reported with brief review of related literatures.

Tubo-ovarian abscess in pregnancy is extremely rare. Its occurrence increases the maternal and fetal morbidities and mortalities. The clinical presentation is variable ranging from asymptomatic abscess to diffuse peritonitis. In this report, we present a rare case of tubo-ovarian abscess complicating a pregnancy on its 6 weeks and 5 days age of gestation. The patient presented with frank peritonitis. Internal examination revealed uterine, adnexal and cervical tenderness with no masses palpated. A laparotomy was done and intra-operative findings showed an 8 x 4 cm-sized, right, ruptured tubo-ovarian abscess with purulent contamination of the whole pelvic cavity. Right salpingooophorectomy was performed and parenteral antibiotics were given. The pregnancy was eventually carried to term and the patient delivered by repeat low segment cesarean section without fetal and maternal complications.

Abdominal pregnancy is one of the rare but extremely harzardous complications of childbearing. The diagnosis of the abdominal pregnancy is rarely made before surgery and the management of it also has many difficult problems. I experienced a case of abdominal pregnancy developed after the previous unilateral adnexectomy and it was a suspicious primary abdominal pregnancy as though did not fulfilled the Studdiford's the following criteria for primary abdominal pregnancy. 1) Normal tubes and ovaries with no evidence of recent or remote injury, 2) absence of any evidence of uteroplacental fistula, and 3) presence of a pregnancy related exclusively to the peritoneal surface and young enough to eliminate the possibility of secondary implantation following primary nidation in the tube. And now I present a case with brief review of literatures.

Abdominal pregnancy is a rare entity, which has been classified as primary or secondary by Studifford criteria. The clinical characteristics of abdominal pregnancy is extremely variable, so early diagnosis is very difficult. Because of it's high maternal morbidity and mortality, the prompt surgical intervention is required. We experienced a primary abdominal pregnancy with intraperitoneal hemorrhage. So we present our case with a brief review of literature.
