Interstitial ectopic pregnancy, misnamed cornual, is a rare pathology, but it implies a high morbidity and mortality if it is notdiagnosed and treated on time. We present the case of a one-year-old patient who attended the emergency room due topain, vaginal bleeding, and a 9-week period of amenorrhea. During the ultrasonographic evaluation, a gestational sac withan active embryo was evidenced at the level of the right uterine horn, for which the diagnosis of cornual ectopic pregnancywas considered and proceeding to perform an abdominal hysterectomy. The best knowledge of the natural history of thedisease, as well as an early and timely diagnosis, is the key to the conservative management of this disease.
