Ovarian pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. It is often difficult to distinguish from tubal pregnancy, and diagnosis and management are frequently a challenge.<jats:italic>Case<\/jats:italic>. A 33-year-old nulligravida woman presented with light vaginal bleeding and bilateral lower quadrants abdominal pain. Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) level (592\u2009mUI\/mL) and clinical and ultrasound (US) findings were suspicious for tubal pregnancy. On the third day, despite beta-hCG decrease (364\u2009mUI\/mL), she complained of severe pain in the lower abdomen, and physical examination revealed abdominal rebound tenderness. US showed a large amount of fluid in the abdominal cavity. Because of the unstable clinical condition, emergency laparoscopy and resection of left ovarian ectopic pregnancy were performed. Histology confirmed ovarian gestation.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. This case shows that ectopic pregnancy rupture may occur despite low levels of beta-hCG. Hemoperitoneum is not contraindication to laparoscopy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/213169","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,11]],"date-time":"2012-11-11T16:01:03Z","timestamp":1352649663000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Rupture of Ovarian Pregnancy in a Woman with Low Beta-hCG Levels"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2012","author":[{"given":"Serena","family":"Resta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Urology, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00161 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eliana","family":"Fuggetta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Urology, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00161 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Federica","family":"D\u2019Itri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Urology, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00161 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Evangelista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Urology, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00161 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adele","family":"Ticino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Urology, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00161 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1904-2302","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Maria Grazia","family":"Porpora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Urology, Sapienza University of Rome, Viale del Policlinico 155, 00161 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmig.2009.01.002"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2008.02.117"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-1208.57231"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0736-4679(00)00233-X"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.4077"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmig.2010.11.005"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2012\/213169.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2012\/213169.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2012\/213169.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,18]],"date-time":"2016-08-18T10:28:36Z","timestamp":1471516116000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2012\/213169\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":6,"alternative-id":["213169","213169"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2012\/213169","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6684","2090-6692"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-6684"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-6692"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
