A mislocation is possible and may reduce quality of life. Aim: This paper aims to present a rare case report and emphasize on the difficulty of diagnosis. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old woman had a history of IUD implantation after her last delivery. Six years later, she visited a doctor for a pelvic pain going on for a long period.

Thorough exploration and management are required.展开更多
