  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 30-year-old nulliparous woman.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ultrasonography, laparoscopy, and pathologic assessment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Alive and functional ectopic ovarian tissue in the cul-de-sac over rectosigmoid colon serosa.
  
  
  RESULTS
  At pathologic assessment, an alive ectopic ovary with focal infarct areas was determined.

  The treatment should be excision of the mass. However, in asymptomatic and nulliparous women who have future fertility desire, protecting the ectopic ovary to not decrease the ovarian reserve might be a beneficial option.
