Abstract

A 16-year-old girl underwent emergency laparoscopic surgery for what was thought to be hematoperitoneum secondary to extrauterine pregnancy. During the operation, omental pregnancy was diagnosed and treated by laparoscopy. According to Studiford's criterion, this case can be classified as a primary omental pregnancy. When performing laparoscopy for suspected tubal pregnancy with no visible pathologic changes on either tube, careful evaluation of the whole abdominal cavity is necessary so as not to overlook an abdominal pregnancy.
