Abstract
Heterotopic pregnancy describes the rare coexistence of intrauterine and extrauterine gestations. The commonly accepted incidence is 1:30,000 but the actual number is significantly higher. This condition remains difficult to diagnose and potentially dangerous to both mot- her and fetus. The incidence has risen after wider use of ovulation induction and the adve- nt of techniques of assisted reproduction. We report a case of simultaneous intrauterine pregnancy and tubal pregnancy.
