Post-term pregnancy in the broad ligament is rarely described in the literature. A 33-year-old woman, grava 2 para 1, not followed-up during gestation was admitted at 44 weeks of gestation. The fetus was dead and in transversal position, as shown by ultrasound. A cesarean section was performed and the fetus was extracted from the right broad ligament. The placenta was inserted on the surface of the posterior wall of the uterus. Blood loss was estimated at 1200 mL and the patient received isogroup total blood. There was no major complication.
