A 28-year-old woman with severe right lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding at 7 weeks' (+/- 2 days') gestation was seen in the emergency room of our institution. The pregnancy was the result of natural conception after ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins. Transvaginal sonography revealed five intrauterine gestational sacs containing five live embryos. A positive fetal heartbeat was detected in the fallopian tube on the right. Laparoscopic findings disclosed the enlarged uterus with the unruptured right ectopic pregnancy in the ampullary region and an extrauterine pregnancy in the left tube as well. A linear salpingotomy was performed on the right tubal pregnancy. We decided to perform salpingectomy on the left tube because it was impossible to preserve the tube, and exploration of it showed the existence of another gestational sac. It is necessary to decry inappropriate and injudicious use of assisted reproductive technologies, especially by individuals with little or no training in monitoring the agents and treatments prescribed. In 2003, still waiting for official legislation from the Italian Parliament on assisted reproductive technology, we have to face dramatic situations, such as this very unique case of heterotopic pregnancy.
