BACKGROUND Rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy is a very rare condition. Removal of a rudimentary horn is required as soon as a pregnancy is confirmed because most pregnancies in a rudimentary uterine horn rupture in the first or second trimester. METHODS A 22-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because an ectopic pregnancy was suggested by ultrasonographic examination at another hospital. A rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy was suspected from transvaginal ultrasonography. The patient was treated with laparoscopic surgery at 7 weeks of gestation. The pregnant rudimentary horn was removed laparoscopically by use of an automatic stapling device. The postoperative course was uneventful. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of laparoscopic resection of a pregnant rudimentary uterine horn. Laparoscopic management of such a pregnancy may reduce operating time and peritoneal damage.
