Abstract
1. 1. A case of primary ovarian pregnancy is reported along with the pertinent findings in a twenty-year review of the English literature on this subject. A total of sixty-five cases were reviewed of which forty-nine cases were considered sufficiently complete and authentic for study. Photomicrographs are submitted. 2. 2. The symptoms, physical findings and laboratory and pathologic data of these fortynine cases are summarized. These findings are compared with comparable findings in three series of tubal ectopic pregnancies. 3. 3. It is hoped that this summary will contribute to an understanding of the clinical and pathologic picture of this entity. No significant etiologic factors were found. This is largely due to the incompletely reported pathologic and clinical data of many of the recorded cases.
