Ubiq -“Yes it should be , but it is still used, and I mentioned “interstitial pregnancy” to avoid this confusion .
It is an imprecise term, BUT as you correctly noted it is used for intrauterine pregnancies.”

“a. That isn’t necessarily true (sure some dictionaries may take a more limited definition but not al do)
b. Some ectopic pregnancies are intrauterine (eg interstitial pregnancies sometimes imprecisely referred to as Cornual pregnancies)”
A.- I don’t care what some dictionaries do – let them read the Wiley article.
B. – You can’t call Interstitial pregnancies – Intrauterine, because they are outside the endometrial cavity.
