Ectopic pregnancy is an obstetric emergency associated with morbidity. The commonest site for an ectopic pregnancy is the fallopian tube. Occurrence of ectopic in a remnant of tubal stump is a rare form which is not yet classified. Here we present a case of spontaneous stump ectopic pregnancy in a patient who had an adnexectomy. The ruptured remnant end was excised. There is a need to emphasise that the tube should be excised till the cornual end when performing salpingectomy to avoid recanalisation or fistulae formation and stump ectopics.
