Ovarian ectopic pregnancy: A case report

Although ovarian ectopic pregnancy is rare, nevertheless, it is an important source of morbidity for women of childbearing age. Its incidence is on rise following the use of ovulation-inducing agents as well as after the increased usage of assisted reproductive technology. We report a case of a natural non-assisted right ovarian ectopic pregnancy detected primarily on transvaginal ultrasound in a lady who came with pain in the right lower abdomen and was subsequently confirmed at surgery and proven on histopathology. Judicious use of ultrasound in an appropriate clinical setting can thus prevent mishaps and enable better management of such conditions.
