According to WHO (2009) 90% of ectopic pregnancies are tubal, but can also be found in the cervix, abdomen and ovary.The topographic distribution of ectopic pregnancies can be outlined as follows: 98% are tubal seat, 1 % develop in the ovary and 1 % of primary or secondary implants in the abdomen. Among the risk factors found more often in women who had undergone previous ectopic pregnancy, intrauterine device use, previous tubal surgery, previous pelvic inflammatory disease, or history of infertility. The frequency is 1 to 2.6% of all pregnancies, the mortality is 1 per 1,000 of all ectopic pregnancies, the recurrence rate is 12%.
