We report the first case of an ectopic twin pregnancy in the broad ligament following in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in a patient with a previous ipsilateral (left) salpingo-oophorectomy. The previous surgery was for endometriosis. We discuss the possible contribution of the embryo transfer technique, limitations of preventive measures and importance of transvaginal ultrasound in establishing the diagnosis.

Key words: : broad ligament pregnancy/embryo transfer/in-vitro fertilization
