Primary ovarian pregnancy is rare and accounts for only 0.5%to 3% of all ectopic pregnancies. The diagnosis is often made intraoperatively and confirmed histopathologically. We present a case of ruptured primary ovarian pregnancy who presented to the emergency services in shock and was initially diagnosed as a ruptured tubal ectopic. However at laparotomy the clinical findings suggested a ruptured ovarian ectopic pregnancy which was confirmed on histopathology. The discussion highlights the difficulty in pre operative diagnosis, role of conservative surgery and the importance of histopathology in the accurate diagnosis of this condition.
