Abstract (2. Language):
Ovarian pregnancy is a rare event with a reported incidence of 1/7000 - 1/40,000 pregnancies1-2. In spite of
advances in clinical sciences diagnosis of ovarian ectopic is rarely made before surgery3. We present three cases with varied
clinical presentation of ovarian ectopic pregnancy. In all cases a suspicion of ovarian ectopic was made during surgery and
diagnosis was later confirmed by histopathology. Diagnosis of ovarian ectopic pregnancy should be suspected when a
hemorrhagic mass is identified near the ovary with normal fallopian tube during surgery of tubal ectopic pregnancy.
