Abstract
Tubal molar pregnancy is extremely rare, and less than 200 cases have been reported in the literature. The incidence is approximated at 1.5 per 1 000 000 pregnancies. We report a case of ruptured tubal pregnancy in a woman, whose postoperative histopathology diagnosis showed partial molar pregnancy in the ruptured fallopian tube. The presence of abnormal, non-polar trophoblast proliferation, which is circumferential with vacuolation, along with sheets of pleomorphic extravillous trophoblast, is the main diagnosing feature, and it carries the risk of malignant potential.
