Epidermal cysts are congenital lesions that originate from embryonal tissue remnants. It requires histopathology for its diagnosis. In this case, we report a young male with no comorbidities presenting with perianal swelling. He was evaluated and taken up for surgery. Post operative period was uneventful and he was discharged on 2nd post operative day. He is doing well at 4 months of follow up.
Intra Uterine Device (IUD) is one of the widely used reversible methods of female contraception. There are many complications reported with IUD
insertion, among which device migration and delayed perforation of viscera like small bowel is one of the rare and serious complication. Here we
report a case of 29 year old female who presented with sudden onset of abdominal pain associated with vomiting. Her Computed Tomography (CT)
scan of abdomen revealed IUD lying within peritoneal cavity causing terminal ileal perforation. She was treated surgically and she recovered well.
Extra uterine visceral organ injury many months or years following IUD insertion is rare and should be considered as a differential in any female
with IUD presenting with abdominal symptoms.
