Ectopic pregnancy accounts for 1.5%-2% of all pregnancies and is a common cause of pregnancy-related mortality during the first trimester. The most common location is the fallopian tube and less than 2% are abdominal pregnancies. Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is an extremely rare type with a rather complex pathogenesis. This unusual location has a high risk of life-threatening complications. Early diagnosis is difficult because of the inability to differentiate signs, symptoms, chorionic gonadotropin concentrations, and imaging with ectopic pregnancies from unusual locations, such as the retroperitoneum. In addition, it is necessary to be careful with the diagnosis of these cases when the most common sites of appearance do not present alterations. Treatment consists of removal of trophoblastic tissue by laparotomy or laparoscopy. A case of primary retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is presented.
