Sumario:Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare condition in which both intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies occur simultaneously. It was reported to be very rare in normal conceived pregnancy. However, with the considerable progress of the assisted reproductive techniques, the incidence of heterotopic pregnancy increased. Furthermore, the incidence also increases in previous abortions. In this case report, we will present and discuss a patient who had heterotopic pregnancy after clomiphene-induced ovulation as well as a history of previous abortion where the extrauterine fallopian tube ruptured and was managed surgically while the intrauterine pregnancy was preserved.
