Abstract
Ovarian pregnancy is rare with reported incidence of 1/7000-1/40000 pregnancies. Inspite of advances in
clinical sciences diagnosis of ovarian ectopic before surgery is rare. We present a case of multiparous lady who had
undergone total salpingectomy for tubal pregnancy and had recurrent ectopic on the ipsilateral side which was confirmed
to be ovarian pregnancy by histopathology, but did not satisfy the Spiegelbergs criteria thus creating a diagnostic
dilemma.
