Meaning of "ectopic" in English

The term "ectopic" refers to an anatomical or pathological condition where something, typically tissue or an organ, is located at an abnormal position. Most commonly associated with pregnancies, an ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterine cavity, often in a fallopian tube. Such conditions are medically significant because they can pose severe health risks if left untreated. "Ectopic" may also be used in broader biological contexts to describe any misplaced anatomical development.
