In the realm of unusual gynecological complications, the displacement of an intrauterine device (IUD) into the bladder, resulting in stone formation, stands out as an exceptionally rare and perplexing condition. Such occurrences challenge diagnostic and therapeutic protocols, often leading to unique case studies that expand our understanding of IUD-related complications. We present an interesting case of a 50-year-old woman with a stone-forming ectopic IUD in the bladder diagnosed with imaging modalities and treated with cystoscopy, with a subsequent resolution of symptoms. This case underscores the importance of considering ectopic IUD placement in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with urinary symptoms and a history of IUD use. Moreover, it emphasizes the role of imaging in the accurate diagnosis of such cases and highlights cystoscopy as an effective treatment modality for the removal of IUD and stones.
