Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is the coexistence of intrauterine (IU) and extrauterine (EU) gestation. It is rare and potentially fatal condition if not correctly treated or diagnosed. In this case report, we present a 33-year-old woman with a 16-week topical pregnancy with spontaneous rupture of an ectopic pregnancy (EP) in the uterine tube. At first, the patient had diffused abdominal pain, specifically in the lower abdominal level and tachycardia. The evaluation of the fetus showed no signs of distress. Abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound (US) show free intraperitoneal fluid, a normal-looking IU gestation with a positive fetal heart rate consistent with a fetal age of approximately 16 weeks, signs of parenchymal vascular hypoflux of the spleen on the color doppler study, associated with a splenic vein with low vascular amplitude flow. General surgery team were requested and to rule out aneurysm of splenic vessels as a source of bleeding she had an abdominal angiotomography that showed a moderate amount of free fluid, ectasia of gonadal and uterine vessels, with no signals of active bleeding and no spleen changes. No signs of EP were identified in this exam. The patient had hemodynamic deterioration with maintenance of abdominal girth. An emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed under general anesthesia through a supra and subumbilical incision, leading to a finding of a ruptured EP. There was a 3 cm right tubal ruptured ectopic pregnancy. A total right salpingectomy was performed with removal of the hemoperitoneum and peritoneal lavage. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged from the hospital within 5 days.
