Abstract
There is lack of histological confirmation of sonographically diagnosed and surgically confirmed ectopic pregnancies in approximately 5% of cases, making this a relatively common finding following surgical treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy. Clinicians should be aware of this when counselling women with tubal ectopic pregnancies about to undergo surgery, include this risk in the consent process and plan post-surgical follow up with this in mind.
