Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. With Cesarean deliveries on the rise, scar ectopic is being increasingly diagnosed. Also, more cases have led to better understanding of diagnosis and treatment of this condition. We present a case of scar ectopic which was initially diagnosed as retained products of conception. The ectopic mass was later resected laparoscopically, thus preserving the uterus and fertility.
