The aim was to present a very rare case of primary ovarian pregnancy accurately diagnosed before the operation and treated successfully. A 26-year-old multiparous woman, at 91/7 weeks gestation referred to the gynaecology department for a presumptive diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. She had no complaints, and her physical examination was regular. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a gestational-free uterus with a 7.5 mm endometrium stripe. A live crown-rump length (CRL) 19.2 mm (83/7 weeks) embryo was detected just near the uterus, on the left adnexal region located on the left ovary. With informed consent, a mini-laparatomy was performed. Intraoperative findings revealed a 6 cm cystic lesion arising from the left ovary. During exploration, the lesion ruptured, and the pregnancy materials, including the embryo, were collected from the cul de sac. The remaining part of the ovarian pregnancy was removed with wedge resection. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. This case showed that transvaginal ultrasonography is helpful in early detection of primary ovarian pregnancy before any potential surgical emergency.
