“…In the past few years, ectopic pregnancy rates have increased in Iran from 1.9 to 3.7 per 1000 pregnancies [ 8 ]. The incidence of OEP has also increased over the past decades, from 0.7% to 1% of all ectopic pregnancies in the 1950s to up to 3.5% in recent studies [ 9 , 10 ]. Although there is no known definite association, the incidence of OEP is reported to be higher among IUD users [ 11 ], which was the case in the reported patient.…”

Background Among all ectopic pregnancies, between 0.5% and 3.5% are ovarian ectopic pregnancies, a potentially life-threatening condition when ruptured due to its serious potential for hemorrhaging. A majority of ovarian ectopic pregnancies are diagnosed by the 7th week of pregnancy when the patient becomes symptomatic, and ultrasound can be used to diagnose this condition. Case presentation We present the case of a 39-year-old Persian woman in the 12th week of gestation who presented with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ovarian ectopic pregnancy. Her notable laboratory finding was β-human chorionic gonadotropin > 15,000, which indicates definite pregnancy. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) revealed no evidence of intrauterine pregnancy, but a well-circumscribed gestational sac in the left ovary. The patient was successfully treated with resection of the gestational sac and partial left salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathological studies confirmed the diagnosis of ovarian ectopic pregnancy. Conclusion The case emphasizes the ability of ovarian ectopic pregnancy to develop asymptomatically through the course of pregnancy and points to the necessity for high-quality prenatal care and the importance of determining the fetal site during pregnancy.

A case of primary ovarian pregnancy proceeding upto term superimposed by another intrauterine pregnancy is presented. Compound extrauterine and intrauterine pregnancy is a rare obstetric phenomenon and still rarer is a primary ovarian pregnancy proceeding upto the term. The condition was diagnosed at laparotomy during the second trimester of current pregnancy. Diagnostic laparotomy was done because the ovarian pregnancy was mimicking an ovarian tumur. The ovarian pregnancy was successfully managed by surgery. Normal vaginal delivery of a term intrauterine pregnancy occurred in due time. The difficulty of diagnosing the heterotopic pregnancy is discussed and the clinico-pathological features of primary term ovarian pregnancy is emphasized, as it is a very rare condition.
