title: Ovarian pregnancy: uncommon mode of presentation.
abstract: Ovarian pregnancy is very rare, and its incidence is 1 in 3000 live births. In this condition, common risk factors for ectopic pregnancy not usually found. It usually occurs in fertile women and more commonly with in-situ intrauterine device (IUD). Preoperative diagnosis is always not possible although the patient commonly presents with abdomen-pelvic pain, per vaginal bleeding and hypovolemic shock. High degree of suspicion with estimation of serum beta HCG, transvaginal ultrasonography by an experienced sonologist and laparoscopy is required for confirming the diagnosis. Though, the usual treatment is surgery, it can be managed by medical methods only in hemodynamically stable patients. In this case report, we describe the unusual mode of clinical presentation in an elderly woman with ovarian pregnancy.
