ABSTRACT
A 40-year-old woman, gravida 5, para 3, at an estimated 9 weeks gestation, after three caesarean sections, was admitted to the Department of Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Oncological Gynaecology due to an ectopic pregnancy located in the cervix. On the fifth day of hospitalization, massive vaginal hemorrhage occurred. An unsuccessful attempt was made to evacuate the gestational sac via the vaginal route, ending with an urgent laparotomy and hysterectomy.
