Abstract: | Pregnancy in the broad ligament is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, and one type of abdominal pregnancy. The diagnosis is seldom established before surgery. A 38-year-old, 11-week pregnant woman, gravida 3, para 2, presented with vaginal bleeding. She had undergone two cesarean sections 10 and 6 years earlier. Pregnancy in the right broad ligament was diagnosed from clinical and transvaginal ultrasonographic findings. Emergency laparotomy and excision of a pregnancy in the right broad ligament and right salpingectomy were performed. She was well at discharge and at the 6-week follow up. We suggest the use of clinical and ultrasonographic findings for the suspicion of pregnancy in the broad ligament. |
