On pervaginal examination uterus was bulky, os was closed and tenderness in right fornice was present. Her UPT was positive and blood was aspirated in culdocentesis. Emergency laprotomy was done with a provisional diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, followed by right sided salpingoophrectomy with left sided tubal ligation. A right ovarian mass around 6X7 cm was found ruptured and was bleeding profusely. There was 2 liters of haemoperitoneum. Patient was transfused 2 units of PCV and 4 units of FFP.
