Material and Method: A specimen of ruptured uterus with cervix in two fragments was received. Both fragments showed rough, grayish black, irregular area at the ruptured junction, which was adherent placental tissue. Representative sections were taken from received specimen and after routine processing; sections were stained with Haematoxyline and Eosin. Result: Grossly, the rough, irregular, grayish black area resembling placental tissue was seen adhering to the endomyometrium up to the serosa. Microscopically, sections from these areas showed chorionic villi invading myometrial tissue up to the serosa without any intervening decidua. This was reported to be placenta percreta. Conclusion: Placenta percreta is believed to represent 5 % of all cases of adherent placenta but it is now on the rise due to increased caesarean sections. In this case report, 25 years old female, at 14 weeks of gestation, with history of previous caesarean section, presented with haemoperitoneum, shock, uterine rupture followed by hysterectomy. Thus, in all patients with such history, morbid placental adhesions should be ruled out radiologically in the first trimester. If suspected, patient should be counselled for emergency hysterectomy and confirmation must be done by histopathological examination.&#13;
