The authors present a report of intrauterine migration from one of the microinsert components in a woman with abnormal uterine bleeding. Transvaginal ultrasound was the key to the diagnosis, finding in the endometrial cavity a hyperechogenic structure with a coiled shape. The hysteroscopic removal of the migrated component conducted to the resolution of the clinical complaints.]]></p></abstract>
