Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are an effective method of contraception, with failure rates comparable to sterilization. In rare cases, IUDs can migrate to other sites, including the bladder, cecum, and fallopian tubes. This case reports a 44-year-old woman who was misdiagnosed with a urachal cyst due to the migration of her IUD into the anterior abdominal wall. A laparoscopic retrieval was successfully performed. To prevent any further serious complications, it is imperative to promptly diagnose and manage migrated IUDs.
