## Abstract

Heterotopic pregnancy (HTP) is a rare, life‐threatening condition in which both extrauterine and intrauterine gestation co‐occur. It presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for physicians, often being missed or overlooked. A heterotopic pregnancy must always be considered if a patient presents with pelvic pain, especially when pregnancy is aided with ovulation‐inducing agents or assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs).
