Abstract A case of advanced heterotopic pregnancy in which an ovarian pregnancy caused obstructed labour with incomplete uterine rupture is presented. A live baby that weighed 3.25 kg was delivered at caesarean section. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy was performed. The left ovarian mass contained a fetus papyraceus of about 24 weeks gestation.
