Abstract
Ovarian pregnancy is a rare form of extra uterine pregnancy. Serous cyst adenoma is
a benign variant of epithelial cell tumors of ovary. The coexistence of a cyst adenoma
with an ovarian pregnancy in the same ovary is extremely rare. Some studies suggested
that infertility or ovulation-inducing drugs can be involved in increased risk of ovarian
tumors and ovarian pregnancies. A 28-year-old infertile woman presented with a ruptured
ovarian pregnancy following ovulation induction with metformin. She had a concurrent
benign serous cyst adenoma in the same ovary. Resection of both ovarian pregnancy and
tumoral mass were performed. The ovary was preserved. Removal of gestational tissue
and preservation of the involved ovary are the best options for management of ovarian
pregnancy in young patient. Although there is an association between infertility/ovulation
inducting medications and ovarian gestation, their connections with serous cyst adenoma
are undetermined.
