Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Ovarian pregnancy is rare with reported incidence of 1/7000-1/40000 pregnancies. Inspite of advances in clinical sciences diagnosis of ovarian ectopic before surgery is rare. We present a case of multiparous lady who had undergone total salpingectomy for tubal pregnancy and had recurrent ectopic on the ipsilateral side which was confirmed to be ovarian pregnancy by histopathology, but did not satisfy the Spiegelbergs criteria thus creating a diagnostic dilemma. Keywords: Ovarian pregnancy, Tubal pregnancy, Salpingectomy.
