A heterotopic quadruplet gestation after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer was complicated at 8 weeks by rupture of an interstitial pregnancy. Laparoscopic resection was performed and subsequently triplets were delivered at 34 weeks. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a case.
