The basic diagnostic method of EP is the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test and transvaginal ultrasound. There are some rare EP cases with negative HCG blood test. Case presentation: A 31-years old woman referred to the emergency department with hypogastric, periumbilical, and right upper quadrant intermittent pain and vaginal bleeding and prior history of EP 7-months ago that treated with methotrexate and her intra uterine device had been removed at that time. Her last menstrual period was undetermined. Although HCG blood test-qualitative was negative (2.08 IU /ml),ultrasound examination showed an 43×53 mm echogenic, heterogenic complex solid mass in the left adnexa and a large amount of echogenic fluid demonstrating hemoperitoneum. Taken surgery because of the exceeded abdominal pain revealed active bleeding in the left salpinx due to ruptured EP. Conclusion: Management of patients suspected of EP with negative HCG-blood test is difficult. In this uncommon cases in emergency, computed tomography, ultrasound and diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy can improve prognosis of patient.  UR - https://www.jogcr.com/article_697401.html L1 - https://www.jogcr.com/article_697401_47df85e5a37305d0b3a6ed30b3c6ef41.pdf ER -
