We present a rare case of ovarian pregnancy that occurred in a woman who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) after bilateral salpingectomy. The patient presented with abdominal pain and a positive pregnancy test. Ovarian pregnancy was diagnosed owing to a suspicious mass detected on ultrasound. She underwent laparoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, which was subsequently verified by histopathological examination. The question that comes in mind is: How did the pregnancy get there? After a review of the literature, we have found a few possible explanations for the mechanism of this rare event. This case emphasizes the need for vigilance in suspecting ectopic pregnancy even in women who have undergone salpingectomy.
