Abstract

Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is the occurrence of an extrauterine pregnancy simultaneously with an intrauterine pregnancy. It is a rare event, with an incidence of 1:3.889. Complications of extrauterine pregnancy range from acute abdominal pain to hemorrhagic shock and other life-threatening consequences. Herein, we report the case of a gravid 1 para 0 woman with heterotopic pregnancy who underwent right salpingectomy.
