In this article, an unusual case of a 27-year-old woman, who presented with abdominal pain for the previous 2 days, is presented. Ultrasonography revealed a perforated uterus and a straw in the abdominal cavity. A foreign body in the abdominal cavity was diagnosed and removed by laparoscopic surgery, and antibiotics were administered. The patient reported no discomfort during follow-up for 1 month. This report highlights the rare case of a foreign body crossing the uterus into the abdominal cavity. The only possible action was immediate surgery to remove the foreign body from the abdominal cavity.
