The management of an ectopic ovary in the inguinal canal: literature review and discussion

James B Webb et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 2014 Oct.

Abstract

We report the case of a female adolescent who had an ectopic ovary in the inguinal canal without an associated hernia, a unicornuate uterus, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The incidental discovery of the ectopic ovary and other Mullerian anomalies, as well as the surgical correction that followed, highlights important fertility considerations in children and available treatment algorithms for these rare cases.
