This study reports a rare supernumerary ovary case, the second-largest documented. Vigilance during surgery is crucial as these can be overlooked despite clinical significance.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Supernumerary ovaries are rare congenital anomalies.
  • Accurate diagnosis and documentation are essential for understanding ovarian development.

Observation:

  • A large, spherical supernumerary ovary (6 x 5 x 4 cm) was documented.
  • Histologic examination revealed a hemorrhagic corpus luteum cyst within normal ovarian tissue.

Findings:

  • This represents the fourteenth recorded case of supernumerary ovary.
  • The documented mass is the second-largest supernumerary ovary reported to date.

Implications:

  • Supernumerary ovaries can be clinically significant but are often overlooked.
  • Increased vigilance during laparotomy is recommended for potential detection.
