Abdominal ectopic pregnancy is a dramatic situation for the woman’s health. It is a rare pathology that proves to be a difficult test even for the most experienced gynecologists in diagnostic ability, decision-making and surgical technique. We present the case of a hospitalized post-term ectopic abdominal pregnancy with a dead fetus inside the chorioamniotic sac and the placenta implanted on vital abdominal viscera. We describe the clinical data, operative findings and conservative management of the retained placenta, followed by a bibliographic review on the subject.
