International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Case Report: A 29-year-old female with a prior obstetric history of spontaneous intrauterine twins presented with a second spontaneous conception of intrauterine twins along with a tubal ectopic pregnancy. The patient was taken to the operating room after tubal rupture, where the ectopic conceptus was removed laparoscopically without complications. She was discharged the following day to follow-up as an outpatient. At the time of writing, her last prenatal visit at 24 weeks gestation was uncomplicated. Conclusion: Though rare, it is prudent that there be continued awareness of the possibility of a heterotopic pregnancy even in the absence of risk factors especially in a patient with symptoms. When confirmed and the patient is clinically stable, surgical management via laparoscopy is a safe alternative.
