Teaching points:

• Urine pregnancy test for all women of childbearing age for abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding
• Be suspicious of patient attributing vaginal bleeding to menses, this could still be an ectopic pregnancy!
• Ultrasound findings of a complex adnexal mass must be attributed to ectopic pregnancy until proven otherwise, regardless of the serum beta-quant
