Ectopic pregnancy is nowadays a worldwide health problem due to the incidence of pelvic inflammatory diseases caused by abortion, sexually transmitted diseases, the use of intrauterine devices and assisted reproductive techniques among others. A 38- year- old black woman came to the emergency room at the Margret Marquart Catholic Hospital of Kpando, Volta Region in Ghana with a history of vomiting, chills and abdominal pain. On physical examination, a tumor mass was found, that occupied a large part of the epigastrium, Douglas sack fundus, which was convex and painful. She has a personal pathological history of chronic anaemia and she was a carrier of HIV. She was admitted in the hospital and a laparotomy was performed. She was discharged after her satisfactory evolution.

Palabras clave : ectopic pregnancy; ovarian pregnancy; laparotomy.
