We propose an iterative procedure for constructing classes of off-shellfour-point conformal integrals which are identical. The proof of the identityis based on the conformal properties of a subintegral common for the wholeclass. The simplest example are the so-called `triple scalar box' and `tenniscourt' integrals. In this case we also give an independent proof using themethod of Mellin--Barnes representation which can be applied in a similar wayfor general off-shell Feynman integrals.Comment: 13 pages, 12 figures. New proof included with neater discussion of contact terms. Typo correcte
