A ruptured ovarian ectopic pregnancy presenting as acute abdomen: A case report
OEP is a rare potentially fatal condition. It is a diagnostic challenge since it is rare and mimics tubal ectopic pregnancy and complicated ovarian cysts. It should always be considered in patients presenting with amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding, and abdominal pain, particularly in those using an IUD. Surgery is the mainstay of management, and histopathologic examination is crucial for confirming the diagnosis.
