There is uncertainty in the trend of ectopic pregnancy incidence in the Southwest region, though the region has a lower fertility rate and a higher contraceptive use than some other regions of Nigeria. The study objective was to determine the temporal trends, presentation and management outcome of ectopic pregnancy at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Lagos, South-Western Nigeria over a decade.
