“…In addition, diagnosing an ectopic ovary prior to surgery is usually difficult. There are case reports where an ectopic ovary was suspected prior to surgery, when follicle stimulation with clomiphene citrate resulted in follicle development within a tumor (10). In reported cases of an ectopic ovary where a tumor has formed, that tumor is most often a mature teratoma, followed by serous or mucinous adenoma (8).…”

WAGR syndrome is caused by an 11p13 deletion and includes Wilms' tumor, aniridia, genitourinary anomalies and mental retardation. We encountered a case of a dysgerminoma originating in an ectopic ovary in a woman with WAGR syndrome. Our patient was a 24-year-old nulliparous woman who was diagnosed with WAGR syndrome. The patient had undergone left nephrectomy for a Wilms' tumor and postoperative chemotherapy at the age of 7 months. She also had a history of glaucoma surgery in both eyes, and was followed up at the Department of Pediatrics for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, liver dysfunction and hyperuricemia. The patient was investigated for oliguria and had elevated levels of blood urea nitrogen (45 mg/dl) and creatinine (5.4 mg/dl); she was admitted to the hospital with acute renal failure and a computed tomography scan revealed a pelvic tumor with a long axis of 10 cm that was obstructing the right ureter. Following insertion of a ureteral stent, the tumor was removed. The tumor had developed in the retroperitoneal space independent of the ovaries. The right adnexa were normal. The tumor was histopathologically diagnosed as dysgerminoma. Follicles were found in part of the tumor; it was thus hypothesized that the tumor developed from an ectopic ovary. The patient was administered etoposide after surgery, and has been recurrence-free for 4 years since treatment.

“…In the aforementioned case of epithelial ovarian cancer, the patient had Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome. There are also case reports of an ectopic ovary and a unicorn uterus (10,11). In the aforementioned case of a Wilms' tumor, the patient had both congenital renal agenesis and an ectopic ovary.…”

“…They can be distinguished in supernumerary and accessory ovaries, although this terminology is sometimes confusing [3]. Furthermore, ectopic of the ovary may be rarely accompanied by maldevelopments of the genital tract and changes in the renal system [4]. Appendicitis is the most common general surgical emergency in developed countries.…”

True ectopia of ovarian tissue is a clinical entity which is rarely encountered by the gynecologists. The present report describes a case of true ectopic ovary accompanied with ipsilateral renal agenesis with a review of related literature. A 34-year-old woman was admitted to the department of emergency with abdominal pain localized in the right lower quadrant. The routine tests showed no abnormalities except mild thrombocytosis. The requested abdominal ECHO examination discovered the agenesis of the right kidney joined by consecutive hypertrophy of the left one. And finally, the MRI examination of the abdomen and pelvis confirmed the abovementioned findings and showed another congenital anomaly -the retrocecal position of the right ovary that was consistent with true ovarian ectopic. Association with ipsilateral renal agenesis is indicative of common anomaly originating from urogenital ridge. Physiologic follicles in the right ovary were also noticed as well as two small cysts posterior to ascending colon (separate from ovary). The latest ones were considered as paraovarian cysts or cysts in small surrounding ovarian tissue. We present an extremely rare case of ipsilateral ovarian ectopia and renal agenesis concomitantly. The true ectopic ovary was mimicking some of the symptoms of acute appendicitis. And finally, we provide hints that will help in guiding the management of similar cases.
