    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Gynecological Oncology

    Background:

    • Supernumerary ovary is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • Only 13 cases have been histologically confirmed to date.
    • This case represents the 14th documented instance meeting Wharton's criteria.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with recurrent pelvic pain years after a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
    • Surgical exploration revealed a mass on the anterior descending colon.
    • The mass was bilobed and projecting from beneath the taenia coli.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination of the mass confirmed the presence of ovarian tissue.
    • This finding represents a supernumerary ovary.
    • The case aligns with established criteria for supernumerary ovaries.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the documented instances of supernumerary ovaries.
    • Understanding such rare anomalies is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of pelvic pain.
    • Further research may elucidate the embryological origins and clinical significance of supernumerary ovaries.
