Background: Ovarian ectopic pregnancies are rare and account for less than 3% of all ectopic pregnancies. They pose significant diagnostic and management challenges due to their insidious presentation.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 31-year-old gravida 2, para 0 female with pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, and a positive pregnancy test at 8 weeks gestation. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a right distal tubal ectopic pregnancy with ovarian involvement and fetal cardiac activity. The patient underwent successful laparoscopic right salpingo-oophorectomy and chromotubation with complete resolution of symptoms.
Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of early recognition and surgical management of ovarian ectopic pregnancies, as well as the utility of minimally invasive techniques for optimal outcomes.
