Abstract

The authors compare six personal cases of ovarian pregnancy with those in the literature. They point out that there is no specific clinical sign which makes it possible to tell whether one is dealing with an ovarian or a tubal pregnancy. They show the value of laparoscopy and especially of laparotomy and the histo-pathology of the specimen. Finally they show that although ectopic pregnancy rarely occurs in this site it is easy to treat and nearly always can be treated conservatively.
