Pediatrician Michael Narvi of the Research Institute of Children's Hospital of Manitoba, Canada, explained: "I thought I saw everything until a 33-year-old woman came in with a 14-day history of menstrual bleeding and a 49-day hiatus since her last period."

Doctors discovered an ectopic pregnancy in the woman's liver.

“Sometimes we see a fetus in the abdomen, but never in the liver. This is the first time for me, ”says the attending physician.

Dr. Karan Raj, another medic on the platform with 236 million followers, also shared his medical history.

He talked about "one of the most terrifying CT scans I've ever seen - a 27-year-old woman with a healthy two-week-old fetus in the right lobe of the liver."

He said that so-called ectopic liver pregnancies are so rare that "only a few cases have been documented in the literature."

He added that "the liver is a highly vascular structure, so any compressive force applied to it can lead to massive internal bleeding."

According to the Mayo Clinic, an ectopic pregnancy occurs "when a fertilized egg is implanted and grows outside the main uterine cavity."

Most often this occurs "in the fallopian tube, through which the eggs go from the ovaries to the uterus."

The Mayo Clinic also reported that such pregnancies cannot "proceed normally" and that "a fertilized egg cannot survive and the growing tissue can cause life-threatening bleeding if left untreated."

An ectopic pregnancy can also occur in the “ovary, abdomen, or lower uterus”.

Early signs that such a pregnancy may occur include "no periods, breast tenderness and nausea," the doctors say.

In the following video, Dr. Narvi noted that one viewer indicated that the baby survived a hepatic pregnancy in Africa in 2003.

“This baby was not actually in the liver, the baby was attached to the liver and the placenta remained inside because it was too difficult to remove,” Dr. Narvi added.
