Overview

• MRI scans on July 22 in Meerut under Dr KK Gupta confirmed a live 12-week fetus implanted in the right lobe of a 30-year-old woman’s liver.
• Intrahepatic ectopic pregnancy ranks among the rarest forms of ectopic gestation, with only eight cases reported worldwide and none previously documented in India.
• The liver’s extensive blood supply poses grave risks of massive hemorrhage or organ rupture, making maternal survival the overriding surgical priority.
• Obstetricians, hepatobiliary surgeons, radiologists and anesthesiologists have formed a multidisciplinary team to chart the safest approach for fetal removal.
• Physicians plan to publish this unprecedented case to expand global medical literature and guide future detection and management of similarly rare pregnancies.
