Treatment of cornual pregnancy in a patient with adenomyosis by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation: A case report

Rationale: Cornual ectopic pregnancy in adenomyosis patients is a rare clinical condition, which may require careful approach for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Patient concerns: A 38-year-old woman presented with amenorrhea for 8 weeks and serum HCG levels of 1455 mmol/L. The B ultrasound showed an endometrial thickness of 1.7 cm, and the presence of a cystic structure (16 6 mm) at the right uterine horn. Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) accurately detected and confirmed the position of the cystic structure with its clear boundaries. Diagnoses: Cornual ectopic pregnancy in adenomyosis. Interventions: The diagnosis was confirmed and treated by HIFU ablation. Total ablation was performed for 738 seconds without any bleeding. Outcomes: Serum HCG levels decreased to
