	<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:12px;font-family:Verdana;\">Case: A 52-year-old female
who was presented to accident and emergency felt unwell; she reported that she
had an IUCD inserted over 20 years ago. On examination she had a large calcified
mass occupying the vagina. CT scan confirmed a calcified IUCD. Conclusion:
Serious complication secondary to IUCD is rare but well recorded, extensive
calcification as in this case is very rare and has not been previously
reported.</span><span style=\"line-height:1.5;font-family:Verdana;\"> </span>
