There is a global increase in the number of ectopic pregnancies including pregnancies in unusual sites like caesarean scar or cervical pregnancy. These cases present a diagnostic as well as management dilemma. In these rare cases there is no consensus on optimal management. We report a case successfully managed and discuss issues in diagnosis and management.
