Ovarian pregnancy. A case report emphasizing the need for careful histologic review.
BACKGROUND
A high index of suspicion and careful review of the histology are needed to recognize ovarian pregnancy.


METHODS
An ovarian pregnancy presented clinically as a typical tubal pregnancy; the diagnosis was missed until a careful review of the histology was repeated by the clinician and pathologist together.


CONCLUSIONS
A missed diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy may be common without a high index of suspicion.
