Primary splenic ectopic pregnancy: A case report and literature review of a rare issue

Primary splenic pregnancy is a rare form of extratubal ectopic pregnancy, frequently associated with life-threatening abdominal bleeding, with only 51 cases reported in the worldwide literature. The aim of this work, through the proposal of its own index case, is to identify the fundamental steps of the diagnostic process, crucial to reduce the mortality rate, while evaluating the available therapeutic options, through a review of the literature, particularly the more conservative ones, to avoid splenectomy.
