This paper is a case report describing a pregnant patient with hemorrhage from ectopic decidua that required emergent surgical resection. The authors present the clinical scenario leading to urgent operative management and document the diagnosis and surgical course in this individual case. As a single-patient report, the main limitation is that it cannot establish incidence or generalizable risk factors or outcomes. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Introduction Ectopic deciduosis is a common finding in pregnant patients and is rarely symptomatic. Decidua is the name that is applied to the mucous membrane of the uterus in preparation of the ovum during the cytotrophic phase of gestation. Although it is a common phenomenon, there are only nine reported cases of life-threatening intraperitoneal hemorrhage and one incidence of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage during pregnancy in the English language since 1900. We present a unique case of life-threatening hemorrhagic deciduosis at the time of caesarean section.
