Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors in young females and leading cause of hysterectomy. Uterine artery embolization is a safe option for women who wish to retain their uterus. Several complications have been reported including expulsion and sepsis. MRI is a useful pretreatment tool to predict results and outcomes. We report a case of a 44-year-old female with a history of uterine fibroids with the largest one being intracavitary. Patient underwent uterine artery embolization that was complicated by endomyometritis that failed antibiotics, leading to sepsis and hysterectomy.

De novo lower abdominal pain in a woman with an IUD in situ should alert the clinician to the possibility of total or partial transmigration of the device into the pelvis or abdomen. Ovarian penetration is very rare and this is the second case of IUD transmigration into the ovary reported in the medical literature.
