  ABSTRACT: Background: Intra uterine device (IUD) is commonly used as contraceptive procedure. 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. The diagnosis of mislocated intra uterine device (IUD) was made using imaging techniques. Conclusion: A pelvic pain in a woman, going on for a long period, should evoke a migrated IUD. Thorough exploration and management are required.
