Abstract :
Intrauterine device (IUD), a conventional method of contraception is rarely associated with uterine
perforation and extra uterine dislocation. A 29 years old woman complaining of vaginal bleeding was referred
for pelvic mass identified in ultrasound. The mass was confirmed with CT scan. In laparatomy we
found an IUD in cul-de-sac and pelvic mass was apparently an organized hematoma. Transmigrated IUD can
induce organized hematomas presenting as a pelvic mass.
