Zusammenfassung: | We present an unusual case of a 28-year-old woman who had termination of
pregnancy at 18 weeks of gestation. She visited our clinic with a history of
secondary infertility for 3 years. A transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a
hyperechogenic image that suggested presence of an intrauterine contraceptive
device (IUCD). Hysteroscopy revealed a foreign body in the uterine cavity.
The foreign body was removed with a hysteroscope using additional instruments
that were not designed for hysteroscopy. Histological examination of the
foreign body revealed fragments of dead bone.
