DOES PRIMARY OMENTAL PREGNANCY EXIST

Omental pregnancy is a rare form of abdominal pregnancy, In the 5 prev iously reported cases, primary implantation of the embryo to the oment um has been proposed as its etiology. We present a new case of omental pregnancy in a 31-year-old woman presenting with symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, After careful review of our case and the published literatu re in view of the accepted definition of primary abdominal pregnancy, we conclude that all reported instances of omental pregnancy are secon dary and probably follow tubal or ovarian pregnancy abortion.
