“…There has been some confusion with regard to the term ''ectopic ovary,'' and a variety of synonyms-such as ectopic ovary, supernumerary ovary, accessory ovary, and autoamputation of the ovary-have been used to describe this entity [1].…”

“…Therefore, a dermoid cyst may have an inherent potential to develop into an ectopic ovary. According to the literature [1,5,11,12], the omentum is one of the common sites for an ectopic ovary. In this case, the mass may have received a blood supply from other tissue after autoamputation of the dermoid cyst.…”

Ectopic ovary is a rare gynecologic entity. A variety of synonymous terms such as ectopic ovary, supernumerary ovary, accessory ovary, and autoamputation of the ovary have been used to describe this condition. The etiology for ectopic ovary has not been elucidated, but several mechanisms have been proposed. They are categorized as either congenital (embryologically derived) or acquired. This report presents two cases of ectopic ovary resulting from different causes and one case of potential ectopic ovary.

“…It may also arise if the interaction between the metanephric mesoderm and the ureteric bud fails to occur. The descent of the ovary into the pelvis depends on the formation of the cranial genital ligament, which forms the suspensory ligament of the ovary, and the caudal genital ligament, which forms the proper ligament of the ovary and the round ligament of the uterus [9].…”

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.

“…However, to our knowledge, spontaneous normal ectopic uterine ovarian tissue in the monkey has not been recorded. Ectopic ovarian tissue has been rarely reported (Litos et al, 2003) and is usually discovered when a neoplasm or cyst has arisen in humans (Heller et al, 1990;Kuga et al, 1999) or monkeys (Lim et al, 2004). Since normal ectopic ovarian tissues are likely to be asymptomatic, their occurrence may have been underestimated.…”

Ectopic Uterine Ovarian Tissue in Cynomolgus Monkeys

Spontaneous ectopic uterine ovarian tissue was found in 9 of 118 cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), an incidence of 7.6%. These ectopic tissues were minute and were incidentally observed in the parametrium by microscopic examination. They were composed of primordial or primary follicles and ovarian stroma. Ectopic ovarian tissue may result from disturbed migration of the ovarian primordium during embryogenesis.
