Ectopic pregnancy is location of gestational sac in any location other than uterine cavity. The fallopian tube is the most common site of ectopic implantation. Ovarian ectopic pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, with an estimated incidence ranging from 0.5% to 3% of the extrauterine pregnancies. Diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy is too difficult and it is many times an intraoperative diagnosis. Diagnosis can be made only with surgery and microscopic examination of tissue specimens. Surgery presently remains the mainstay of treatment for ovarian ectopic pregnancies. We present a 31-year-old woman with ruptured ovarian pregnancy who underwent laparoscopic ovarian wedge resection. She was normal on gynecologic examination except sensation on lower abdominal quadrants. Her vital signs and physical examination were normal. Transvaginal ultrasound examination revealed an image on right adnexial region that was suitable with ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Histopathological examinations of the tissue specimens revealed ovarian pregnancy. Copyright © 2012 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
