Tubal pregnancy following late luteal vaginal hysterectomy. 1984

E L Marut, and A J Zucker

A patient who had a vaginal hysterectomy performed on day 24-25 of her cycle by histological dating was found to have a ruptured left tubal pregnancy 55 days later. The patient used barrier contraception up to the time of hysterectomy, and an undetectable level of beta-HCG was noted the week prior to hysterectomy. The likelihood of delayed tubal implantation having occurred in the same luteal phase as the hysterectomy distinguishes this case from the 27 others previously reported, which are briefly reviewed.

D008183	Luteal Phase	The period in the MENSTRUAL CYCLE that follows OVULATION, characterized by the development of CORPUS LUTEUM, increase in PROGESTERONE production by the OVARY and secretion by the glandular epithelium of the ENDOMETRIUM. The luteal phase begins with ovulation and ends with the onset of MENSTRUATION.

D008598	Menstruation	The periodic shedding of the ENDOMETRIUM and associated menstrual bleeding in the MENSTRUAL CYCLE of humans and primates. Menstruation is due to the decline in circulating PROGESTERONE, and occurs at the late LUTEAL PHASE when LUTEOLYSIS of the CORPUS LUTEUM takes place.
