We observed a patient with a primary ovarian pregnancy complicated by severe preeclampsia and a presumed fetal anomaly. Diagnosis was made at cesarean section at 30 weeks of gestation. Etoposide, given intravenously at a dose of 100 mg daily for 5 days, prevented massive bleeding during the procedure that was subsequently performed to separate the placenta.
