Abstract:
Objective: We report an extremely rare case of a heterotopic pregnancy in a 24 year old female that had a spontaneous conception and no use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART).Methodology: Case Report and review of related literature.Results: The patient was worked up for her abdominal pain. An intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) was confirmed at bedside by ultrasound and a formal ultrasound demonstrated an ovarian mass, thought initially to be a hemorrhagic cyst. The patient was taken urgently to the OR where the diagnosis of a heterotopic pregnancy was made and confirmed by surgical pathology. The patient recovered well and continues to have a healthy IUP.Conclusions: Heterotopic pregnancy is a very rare diagnosis, even more so in the absence of ART. However, the diagnosis should not be ignored as it is a surgical emergency and requires surgical resection.
