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. nema
