ABSTRACT: Broad ligament pregnancy is a rare event and always delays in diagnosis. A pregnant woman in early twenties presented for our center. Routine ultra-sonography revealed a first trimester abdominal pregnancy. Broad ligament pregnancy was diagnosed intraoperation and treated with laparoscopic resection successfully. The patient has a history of right tubal pregnancy 2 years ago and terminated with Laparoscopic Salpingostomy. According to the long term followed-up for the patient, we found that she had recurrent right tubal pregnancy 5 months after the broad ligment ectopic pregnancy. She received the salpingectomy laparoscopically. We presented the case to discuss the clinical management of broad ligament ectopic pregnancy and options of surgical treatments of tubal pregnancy to reduce the risk of recurrent.
