Interstitial pregnancy, which is a rare form of tubal ectopic pregnancy, can grow larger than those within the fallopian tube because the surrounding myometrium is more expandable than the tube; many cases are advanced and treated with surgical resection or a large amount of methotrexate (MTX). This report presents a case of an advanced interstitial pregnancy treated with systemic MTX and laparoscopic local MTX injection combined with transcervical aspiration of the gestational sac. A 27-year-old nulliparous female presented with an interstitial pregnancy. Serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level was 90 000 IU/L. MTX was given systemically (50 mg/m(2) i.m.) and the gestational sac was aspirated transcervically under laparoscopic guidance followed by local injection of 25 mg MTX. The patient received a total of only 95 mg MTX. The gestational sac disappeared and serum hCG became undetectable. The patient became pregnant spontaneously six months later, and delivered a live 2482-g infant in good condition by planned cesarean section at 36 weeks and 3 days of gestation. No defect of the myometrium was seen during the surgery. This therapy may be effective for interstitial pregnancy and can be performed safely with laparoscopy. |
