A case of painful pelvic splenosis is reported. This diagnosis concerns a patient suffering from pelvic pain who had had a splenectomy done thirteen years earlier. Two complementary examinations allowed us to make a precise pre-operatory diagnosis. The differential diagnoses are listed and endometriosis in particular. The authors think that the nodules of splenosis are probably a defense against infections affecting "splenic" patients. Consequently, the removal only of symptomatic ectopic splenic tissue is indicated.

We are dealing with the case of a patient suspected of ectopic pregnancy. Laparoscopy showed a ruptured corpus luteum on the right side with haemoperitoneum. Four days after her discharge, she came back with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in the outer third of the left tube. We emphasize the difficulties of an early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy and its etiology.
