Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare condition found. The incidence is around 1 in 30,000 spontaneous pregnancies. Ovarian pregnancies occur around 0.5-3% and heterotopic pregnancies around 2% of all ectopic pregnancies. The diagnosis is intricate and based on surgical and histopathological observations. The management is, in spite of medical improvement. We presented an ectopic pregnancy suspected of being a right ovarian pregnancy and undergoing surgery, then 1 month later an ectopic pregnancy reappeared in a tubal rupture on the opposite side. We describe based on the literature review, diagnosis criteria and case management.
