Ectopic ovaries are a rare finding in the literature, with fewer than 50 published cases to date. This phenomenon has been found in the omentum, bladder, mesentery, and uterus; attached to the colon; inside the left labia majora; and in the kidney. Various etiologies have been proposed, including postsurgical or postinflammatory transplantation, malignant origins, and abnormal embryologic development. We report the ultrasonographic, computed tomographic (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of, what is to the best of our knowledge, the first case of an intrahepatic ectopic ovary.
