Heterotopic pregnancy is a potentially fatal condition that rarely occurs in natural conception cycles. We report two cases diagnosed within one month in a 20 year old gravida 3, para 0+2 without any known risk factor and a 38 year old gravida 12, para 6+5 with risk factors. The ectopic pregnancies were diagnosed after rupturing at 10 and 17 weeks respectively and resected via laparotomies. The...

Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is a rare entity occurring in 1:30000 pregnancies but its incidence raises as a result of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) to 1:100-1:500.
