Objective: To report a case of advanced abdominal pregnancy and conduct a review of the literature on the diagnosis, management and prognosis of this condition.

The search was limited to the English and Spanish languages, and to the time period between 1940 and 2013. Results: A total of 22 articles directly related to the topic were found, 14 of which were included in the review: 1 review article, 2 case series report, 9 case reports and 2 letters to the editor.
