Abstract
Sonographers are acquainted with the signs, symptoms, and findings of ectopic pregnancies as well as their recurrence; however, a recurrent ipsilateral ectopic pregnancy after a salpingectomy is also possible. While recurrent ipsilateral ectopic pregnancies are rare, they are a significant diagnostic discovery. It is important to highlight this rare manifestation and be aware of the potential for recurrent ipsilateral findings to avoid a misdiagnosis or prolonged treatment. The goal of this case study is to review a patient’s presentation and raise awareness of recurrent ipsilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy.
