Summary A case of primary abdominal pregnancy occurring in a 40‐year‐old Jamaican negress is recorded, the patient presenting with lower abdominal pain and eventually succumbing to massive intraperitoneal haemorrhage. Studdiford's criteria for primary abdominal pregnancy are enumerated and assessed. A brief review of the literature with a table of the more popularly quoted cases is presented.
