QUESTION

The most common form of ectopic pregnancy is?

OPTIONS

(A) Abdominal
(B) Ovarian
(C) Fallopian tube
(D) None of these

ANSWER

(C) Fallopian tube

EXPLANATION

The Fallopian tube is the most common site of ectopic pregnancy, because an ectopic pregnancy usually results when the fertilized ovum fails to reach the uterine cavity and implants within the oviduct instead. Among tubal sites, the ampulla is the most common location. Ovarian pregnancy is rare, and abdominal pregnancy is also much less common than tubal pregnancy. Therefore, option (C), Fallopian tube, is correct.
