Diaphragmatic ectopic pregnancy is a rare status during the perinatal period. We reported that a 24‐year‐old woman with diaphragmatic ectopic pregnancy successfully received ultrasound‐guided percutaneous microwave ablation. It found that beta‐human chorionic gonadotropin level decreased showing 1067, 311.3 and 118.4 mIU/mL within five postoperative days, and P level reduced from 3.64 to 1.59 nmol/L. Contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography image on the third day after ablation indicated that there was no enhancement in the lesion. This case indicated that ultrasound‐guided percutaneous microwave ablation could be critical for a good outcome in diaphragmatic ectopic pregnancy.
