## Abstract

Ovarian pregnancy is a rare event, nevertheless, it poses a potential life‐threatening gynecological emergency. The clinical history and objective exam are essential, however for the majority of cases, the diagnosis is performed intraoperatively, with the treatment approach only being determined during surgery. In this article, we describe two cases of ovarian pregnancies, where distinct surgical approaches were performed.
