The Ectopic decidual reaction of peritoneum and omentum is very rare in occurrence as it is commonly seen in ovary and cervix. It is characterised by stromal It is however a physiological phenomenon due to exaggerated response of progesterone in pregnancy. It is usually asymptomatic and incidental histological finding. It disappears without complication in the post partum period. It has been hypothesised that peritoneal deciduosis develops with time due the effect of progesterone on subserosal stromal cells. it can mimic metastatic deposits within peritoneum. Hence, it is must to diagnose it accurately to avoid overtreatment and unnecessary expenditure. Here, we present a rare case of ectopic peritoneal deciduosis in primi gravid.
