Abstract
A 80 year-old grand multiparous woman admitted to us with the complaints of severe acute upper abdominal pain reflecting to back, nausea, and vomiting. Abdominal ultrasonogrphy and abdominopelvic computed tomography revealed an oval- shaped, smooth surfaced, and calcified pelvic mass with a diameter of 6x6 cm in addition to cholecystitis findings. Then cholecystectomy was performed with the diagnosis of cholecystitis. Physical examination showed an impacted lastic ball with the dimensions of 6x6 cm in the vagina. On further questioning, she recalled that she has placed this lastic ball approximately thirty years ago. In literature, this is first case of a vaginal foreign body used as a pessary for long years.
