چکیده
INTRODUCTION A large number of complications are reported with the use of IUD. Migration to inguinal region has not been mentioned in literature. We report a rare case of migrated IUD to inguinal canal. CASE REPORT A 25-year-old lady presented with a painfull mass in the left inguinal region. Diagnostic work up showed migrated IUD to inguinal region. Operation was done and the impacted IUD with surrounding granuloma was retrieved. DISCUSSION When the string of the IUD is no longer visible at the external os of the cervix, radiological scan must be performed, this should begin with a sonographic examination and plain abdominal radiography may be used to localize the IUD. CONCLUSION IUD Migration may occur to unusual area and perforation can be misdiagnosed as non-witnessed expulsion.
