Abstract
A healthy 26 year old Para 1 presenting with a 2 months of amenorrhoea was diagnosed to have right tubal ectopic pregnancy after vaginal examination and ultrasonography. The case illustrates the need for careful history taking and considering ectopic pregnancy in women of reproductive age group even with negative pregnancy test. Emergency laparotomy confirmed swollen right tube containing a fetus with highly necrotic changes.
