Abstract
The ectopic pregnancy appears in the 10-12% of cases after tubal sterilization and it is usually located in the tube. 1% of ectopic pregnancies are abdominal and the implantation in omentum is a rare condition with only 16 described cases. According to Studdiford, they can be classified as primary or secondary depending on whether they are originated or not in the peritoneal cavity. We present the case of a secondary abdominal pregnancy located in omentum, in a woman with previous tubal sterilization, which has not been described to date; one is an abdominal pregnancy with origin in a tubal abortion, since trofoblastic invasion does not exist in omentum and there are remains of the same tissue in the right tube.
