Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare event combining intra and extra uterine pregnancies. We report 3 cases observed in patients aged 32, 32 and 31 years consulting for pelvic pain and metrorragia with amenorrhea of 6 to 7 weeks. Treatment was conservative in 2 cases and radical for the third patient. The frequency of this association has been increased since the development of medical procreation technique and the increased of ectopic pregnancy. The foetomaternal prognosis will be improved by an early diagnosis.
