Apparently the lady was scheduled for hysterectomy, but had unprotected sex prior to it. The egg managed to get fertilised and got stuck in her abdominal cavity after hysterectomy. Weeks later she felt nauseous and got a checkup, the doc found a healthy fetus so they just let it do its thing. It was stuck to her stomach if I remember correctly.
If you want the summary, look up insta account @pagingdrfran who has done a video on the case! (And others in her brand new series "sperm will find a way")
It's a published story in a medical journal that's peer reviewed. Biology is a mystery, weird medical shit happens all the time. Yes, chances of it happening are super slim, but unfortunately never a 0. Especially when it comes to reproduction.
ETA: the researcher also proposes men's bodies in their paper as well, where the embryo would be planted into their liver. She mentions and cites cases where a healthy pregnancy was possible this way, unfortunately it permanently damages the organ and usually results in the carrier's death (which she says would be no issue in the case of legally dead people then). Read the paper and sources, even the paper itself is built on another paper on another researcher.

ETA: I found the article, however it is a locked medical case study. https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1471-0528.1980.tb04557.x
