Abstract: Ectopic ovarian tissue is a rare gynecologic condition. The presence of ectopic ovary may be accompanied by maldevelopments of the genital and urinary tract. We report an extremely rare case of a 39-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain localized in the right lower quadrant. During the preoperative investigation and the exploratory laparotomy, an ectopic ovary in contact with the appendix accompanied by a single left kidney was found. The present report also includes a review of the related published w… Show more

“…have previously published a case of the ectopic right ovary with right renal agenesis and have outlined the related embryological development of kidney and ovary. [ 10 ] Ectopic ovaries have high incidences in females with an absent uterus or unicornuate uterus, with incidences up to 20% and 42%, respectively. [ 11 ] High association has noted between Mullerian anomalies and ectopic ovary in several other studies.…”

“…The present case had similar maldevelopments: congenital abnormal development of the ovaries and ectopic kidneys. Ectopic ovaries may lead to menstrual disorders, infertility, or abdominal pain (3). In the present case, because of uterine dysfunction and amenorrhea, an ectopic ovary was not suspected.…”
