Broad ligament pregnancy also termed as interligamentous pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Incidence is reported as 1 in 300 ectopic pregnancies. A broad ligament pregnancy usually results from trophoblastic penetration of tubal pregnancy through the tubal serosa and into the mesosalpinx, with secondary implantation between the leaves of broad ligament. It can also occur if a uterine fistula develops inbetween.
