Abstract
Ovarian pregnancy is rare: 1-6% of ectopic pregnancies. It remains an isolated and exceptional phenomenon in the life of a woman, independent of traditional risk factors and the exact mechanism leading to ovarian pregnancy is poorly understood. Histological study authenticates the diagnosis, sometimes referred intraoperatively. We report the case of a 34 year old patient is referred for isolated pelvic pain at 6 weeks of gestation.

Surgical exploration highlights a moderate hemoperitoneum and a right ovary with an ectopic pregnancy. A wedge resection of the right ovary is performed.
