abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a conservative management by laparoscopy of an unusual interstitial twin pregnancy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  University hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 27-year-old woman, pregnant at 6th week of amenorrhea with interstitial twin pregnancy.
  
  
  METHODS
  The woman was submitted to two- and three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound and to diagnostic hysteroscopy. Subsequently, we performed a laparoscopic procedure: conical exeresis of the uterine cornu using a monopolar hook without involving the uterine cavity.
  
  
  METHODS
  Conservation of the uterus, fertility preservation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Successful conservative treatment of interstitial twin pregnancy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Conservative laparoscopic surgery can be used successfully in hemodynamically stable patients with an interstitial pregnancy.
