Broad ligament pregnancy is a rare form of abdominal pregnancy that corresponds to 1 percent of ectopic pregnancies. It has a high maternal mortality rate, and its diagnosis can represent a clinical challenge. We report a case of a 29-year-old woman, G2P0, pregnant of 21 weeks who was submitted to surgery due to hemoperitoneum that resulted from a ruptured extra uterine pregnancy. Broad ligament pregnancy diagnosis was made intraoperatively and the broad ligament along with fetus, placenta and fallopian tube were excised.
