%X Lithopedion is a rare clinical situation characterised by the calcification of a foetus that has died during an ectopic pregnancy, usually in the abdominal cavity. It occurs in 1.5 to 2% of ectopic pregnancies. It can be asymptomatic for several years. However, various complications can occur that lead to diagnosis. The authors report a case of lithopedion complicated by acute intestinal obstruction in a 24-year-old woman in her first pregnancy. This complication occurred after 12 months of amenorrhoea. A mass containing a calcified foetus was removed by laparotomy.
