Description
Mariam Mohamed Mohamud Adawe and co-authors report a pregnancy growing on an ovary, treated with medicine instead of surgery, in a 2026 case report. Ovarian ectopic pregnancy is rare and easily mistaken for a common ovarian cyst, a dangerous confusion where scans and surgeons are scarce. Their patient was a twenty-seven-year-old mother of several, five weeks along, with nausea and right pelvic pain but no bleeding and stable vital signs.
Ultrasound showed an empty uterus and a sac inside the right ovary, and hormone levels fit the diagnosis. After counseling, the team gave methotrexate, a drug that stops the pregnancy tissue. Hormone levels fell on schedule over days, and by week three they were near zero, with the sac gone on scan. The authors stress selection: a stable patient who can return for checks may keep her fertility without an operation.
