Ovarian ectopic pregnancy should be kept in mind as a rare possibility following assisted reproductive techniques. Although early use of quantitative serum â-hCG and pelvic ultrasonography has increased our diagnostic capability for ectopic pregnancy, ovarian pregnancy still represents a diagnostic problem. Laparoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment for ovarian ectopic pregnancy.
