Using examination and history taking, ultrasound and β-hCG titer measurement, one of the masses at 5 to 6 weeks and in the area of the isthmus of the right tube and the other mass two weeks later at 7 to 8 weeks, in the area Infundibulum of the left tube was diagnosed. The most common complication that the patient complained about was abdominal pain and frequent bleeding. Both times, the patient underwent laparoscopy and because of the patient's condition, salpingectomy was performed on both left and right tubes of the patient. Conclusion: Due to the rarity of bilateral twin ectopic pregnancy, early diagnosis with the help of history taking and clinical examination, measurement of β-hCG titer and ultrasound is necessary. Early diagnosis can lead to the reduction of women's mortality.
