Zusammenfassung:A case of persistently elevated serum hCG after linear salpingostomy for ectopic pregnancy was noteworthy because laparoscopy 45 days after an initial laparotomy revealed a trophoblastic implant on the uterine fundal serosa. Cautery of the implant led to a rapid decline of serum hCG levels. This is the first report of a pelvic trophoblastic implant following a linear salpingostomy for tubal pregnancy performed at laparotomy. (Obstet Gynecol 76:523, 1990)
