This case report describes the sonographic appearance of an ovarian pregnancy; at 7 weeks of gestation, transvaginal ultrasonography revealed an enlarged left ovary containing the gestational sac, yolk sac, and embryonic structures without heart activity. High‐frequency transvaginal ultra‐sound examination proved a useful diagnostic tool in this case of ovarian pregnancy. Copyright © 1993 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology
