Abdominal pregnancy is a rare obstetric emergency with the high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality rates. The diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy is often intrasurgical at either diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy. The diagnosis and management of a woman with an abdominal pregnancy in the right round ligament and fallopian tube, which resulted in a live, healthy 30th week gestation infant, was presented in this case report. Although the characteristics of abdominal pregnancy were the history of an abdominal pain early gestation in pregnancy, ultrasonographic appearances and increased alpha-fetoprotein, the correct diagnosis might not be established until laparotomy. The salpingectomy was performed to prevent abundant hemorrhage for retained placenta. The operation was ended with maternal and fetal survival. Laparotomy should be suddenly preferred in gynecological emergencies for the diagnosis and treatment.
