    Heterotopic interstitial pregnancy in natural conception is very rare. Definitive diagnosis is
    made by systematic pelvic ultrasound. Simultaneous viable conception observed in both intraand extra-uterine is pathognomonic of heterotopic interstitial pregnancy. We report a 34-yearold woman primigravida at 10 weeks’ amenorrhoea who underwent evacuation of retained
    product of conception for missed miscarriage. Intraoperatively, minimal product of conception
    was retrieved. Bedside pelvic ultrasound showed cystic mass at right superolateral part of
    uterine fundus suspicious of interstitial pregnancy. Cornual resection was performed via
    laparotomy. Histopathological examination showed presence of product of conception and
    interstitial pregnancy. Serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin dropped from 10,027 IU/l on day
    one post-ERPC to 210 IU/l at day three post-cornual resection. This case report highlighted
    the challenge in diagnosing heterotopic interstitial pregnancy conceived naturally. Timely
    diagnosis may avert dire consequences of massive haemorrhage from ruptured uterine cornua
