Background: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is 20 per 1,000 pregnancies. The cornual ectopic pregnancy is found in 2-4%. Hydatidiform moles occur in 1 per 1000 pregnancies in USA and 1 per 500 in Mexico. Thus, the incidence of the two occurring together is very rare. Only 40 cases have been reported in the medical literature, the incidence estimate is 0.04%. Clinic case: We analyzed a 30 year old woman patient case, gravida 1, with 8 weeks’ gestation by last menstrual period, came at the Hospital Universitario “Dr. José Eleuterio González”, Monterrey, Nuevo León, with complaints of nausea and vomiting for 1 day and abdominal pain, and transvaginal bleeding. A cualitative pregnancy test was positive. Physical examination revealed diffuse abdominal tenderness and peritoneal signs. The transvaginal ultrasonography showed a multicystic echogenic mass within the uterus near cornual region consistent with a molar pregnancy. A cornual resection was performed followed by dilation and curettage. Pathologic diagnosis was confrmed. The monitoring of ß-hGC titers was negative 7 weeks after surgery.

Palabras clave : Ectopic pregnancy; molar pregnancy; corneal pregnancy.
