Question

Percentage of ectopic pregnancy seen in fallopian tube is?

• A. 75%
• B. 90%
• C. 80%
• D. 67%

Hint:

The tube dominates ectopic sites, so pick the highest credible figure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: An ectopic pregnancy is implantation of the conceptus outside the uterine cavity. The site distribution is heavily skewed towards the fallopian tube.

Step 2: The fallopian tube is by far the most common location for an ectopic gestation, accounting for around 90 to 97 percent of all cases. From the given choices, 90% is the best match, so option (b) is correct.

Step 3: Within the tube the ampulla is the commonest segment, followed by the isthmus, with the interstitial and fimbrial portions being rarer.

Step 4: The lower values offered (67%, 75%, 80%) understate the true tubal predominance and are therefore incorrect, while non-tubal sites such as the ovary, cervix and abdomen together make up only a small minority.
