CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 41-year-old woman complaining of right upper quadrant pain. She had an intrauterine device inserted 12 years earlier without regular follow-up.

Abdominal ultrasound showed gallbladder stones without any other sonographic pathologic finding. Patient underwent simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and removal of the intrauterine device from the right subdiaphragmal area. CONCLUSION Laparoscopy is an appropriate method for removal of intrauterine device translocated to the right subdiaphragmatic region.
