AI-generated summary
This study investigated five cases of ovarian pregnancy, noting that follicular implantations can cause hemoperitoneum and are often misdiagnosed as ruptured corpus luteum cysts without histological examination.

Abstract
Five follicular ovarian implantations occurred among 200 ectopic pregnancies encountered during a 14-year period. Abortions from impregnated follicles may cause hemoperitoneum more often than is generally suspected. Wedge resection or cystectomy to ensure hemostasis provides tissue for histological examination, without which ruptured ovarian pregnancy may masquerade as rupture of a corpus luteum with hemorrhage ("ovarian apoplexy"). Including patients reported here, IUCD users have within the past five years accounted for about 10% of all ovarian pregnancies recorded in English.
