Various diagnostic procedures suggested a large ovarian cyst and surgical resection was performed. Conclusion Histologically the resected mass was not of tubal origin as suspected but a serous cystadenoma arising from ovarian tissue. The patient s two normal eutopic ovaries were completely uninvolved and unaffected. A tumor arising from ectopic ovarian tissue of embryological origin seems the most likely explanation. We suggest refining the descriptive nomenclature so as to more precisely characterize the various presentations of ovarian ectopia. Introduction Ectopic ovarian tissue is a rare phenomenon with an incidence estimated between 1 in 29 000 and 1 in .
