Abstract

Primary ovarian pregnancy is one of the rarest variety of ectopic pregnancy accounting for 0.15-3% of all ectopic gestations. Heartig estimated that ovarian pregnancy occur in 1 in 25000-40000 pregnancies.  Pre operative diagnosis is challenging and needs high index of suspicion. In any case of ruptured ectopic pregnancy where tubes are found to be normal on laparotomy an ovarian pregnancy must be ruled out. We report such a rare case of ruptured ovarian pregnancy diagnosed on laparotomy which was later on confirmed by histopathological examination
