J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med. 2003 Jun;13(6):422-5. doi: 10.1080/jmf.13.6.422.425.

Abstract

A case is described of advanced tubal pregnancy associated with severe fetal growth restriction delivered at 27 weeks. The placenta was implanted on the salpinx and on the uterotubal angle. Progressing tubal pregnancy and its placental histological characteristics could be a model of placental dysfunction typically associated with intrauterine growth restriction.
