    This case report details a rare ovarian pregnancy, where the embryo developed within the ovary. Morphological analysis confirmed a normally developed embryo, highlighting the importance of detailed examination in such cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Embryology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Ovarian pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy.
    • The Dalkon Shield is an intrauterine device previously associated with complications.
    • Accurate diagnosis and understanding of ovarian pregnancy are crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • A case of a "true" ovarian pregnancy is presented.
    • The gestational sac was located in the ovary, adjacent to the corpus luteum.
    • A normally developed embryo, corresponding to Carnegie Stage 11, was found within the sac.

    Findings:

    • Detailed morphologic description of the Carnegie Stage 11 embryo.
    • Confirmation of a viable intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) equivalent within the ovarian tissue.

  • The presence of a Dalkon Shield was noted in the patient's history.

    • Implications:

    • Emphasizes the necessity of thorough morphologic assessment of the conceptus in ovarian pregnancies.
    • Contributes to the understanding of early embryonic development in ectopic locations.
    • Raises awareness regarding potential reproductive health issues associated with historical contraceptive devices.
