Abstract

Ovarian ectopic pregnancy is a rare manifestation of ectopic pregnancy. Our patient who was presented at our tribal valley hospital at 4+2 weeks came in with complaints of amenorrhea and intermittent vaginal spotting, occurring every 5 days and lasting for 5 days. An ultrasound examination revealed an intricate left adnexal mass, characterized by an irregular shape and lack of vascularity, measuring 4.83 × 3.92 cm. Additionally, another cystic lesion measuring 4.95 × 4 cm was found adherent to it. A left ovariectomy was performed, with the ectopic pregnancy being included in the excised tissue, along with a left partial salpingectomy. Furthermore, as per the patient's request for a permanent method of contraception, a right tubectomy using Parkland's technique was carried out. Ovarian ectopic pregnancies exhibit diverse features upon presentation, making ultrasound a crucial tool in diagnosing this condition, particularly when accompanied by a positive beta-HCG report.
