A 26-year-old woman presented with abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting. There was ectopic pregnancy with viable foetus in the right adnexa and haemoperitonium. Laparotomy was performed and on exploration tubo-omental pregnancy was found attached to fimbria at one side and omentum at the other. Fimriaectomy and partial omentectomy was performed.
