Resumen

Pregnancy in the cesarean scar consists of the implantation of the blastocyst in the scar tissue of a previous cesarean section. Timely diagnosis allows therapeutic possibilities. Inadequate management or expectant management may be related to adverse outcomes. Its therapy should be oriented to the resection of the ectopic pregnancy according to maternal conditions and reproductive desires. We report a case of pregnancy in a previous cesarean section scar treated at the Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo, Lima, Peru.
