A member asked:

After an ovarian pregnancy ruptures is a blood test the only thing that can differentiate it from an ovarian cyst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Blood test for HCG would help in establishing pregnancy and if there is no gestational sac in the uterus, it would suggest an ectopic pregnancy. Ultrasound examination, blood tests, and examination of the tissue by a pathologist may all be needed to confirrm a diagnosis.
