However, the true incidence of this condition is probably underestimated because the pathologic forms (ovarian tumors and endometriosis) are probably more often diagnosed and reported. Case: We report the incident discovery of one right accessory ovary during a laparoscopic tubal sterilization. This accessory ovary was asymptomatic and structurally normal. It was connected serial to the right utero-ovarian ligament and left in situ. There was no other anomaly. Conclusion: Gynaecologic surgeons must be aware of this possibility when removal of the whole ovarian tissue is needed.
