Ovarian pregnancy: report of three cases and review of the literature. [Journal Article]
Br J Hosp Med (Lond) 2009 Sep; 70(9):536-7.
Ovarian pregnancy - the implantation and development of the conceptus in the ovary - is a rare form of ectopic implantation. It often ruptures early in the pregnancy because the ovarian tissue is very fragile. The incidence of ovarian pregnancy worldwide is reported as 0.3-0.5% of all ectopic pregnancies (Raziel et al, 2004). This article reviews three cases of ovarian pregnancy from September 2000 to June 2006 in Wuhan University Renmin Hospital, and outlines the presentation and treatment.
