ABSTRACT: Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancies (ETs) are an extremely rare entity in their spontaneous form. It is a condition that a gynecologist may encounter only once during his or her entire career. We report the case of a 24-year-old nulliparous woman whose bilateral ectopic pregnancy was discovered during laparotomy performed for hemoperitoneum associated with secondary amenorrhea of 9 weeks’ gestation. To avoid missing such a potentially life-threatening situation, we recommend always exploring the contralateral fallopian tube using endovaginal ultrasound.
