Abstract:
This paper reported the diagnosis and treatment of a case of inguinal ectopic pregnancy. The patient, a 34-year-old female, had her last menstrual period on June 28, 2024. After amenorrhea, serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels continued to rise (the highest was 13 193 U/L). However, repeated transvaginal ultrasound examinations failed to locate the implantation site of the gestational sac. Given the patient's inguinal pain, focused ultrasonography was performed in the inguinal region, revealing an ectopic pregnancy mass, which was subsequently surgically removed. Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of inguinal ectopic pregnancy.
