We present here a case of ectopic cervical pregnancy terminated in the birth of a live 1800 g infant, whose further development takes normal course. Wrong evaluation of the place of the developing pregnancy resulted in its growth up to 34th week. Finally, the placement of pregnancy was established after delivering the woman with a caesarean section, on the basis of macro and microscopic evaluation of the removed uterus. Extraordinary series of circumstances enabled such a long development of ectopic cervical pregnancy, on a scale unprecedented in literature. Ways of dealing with cervical pregnancy, which seriously endangers health and life of the patient, were also recalled.
