dc.description.abstractRetention of foetal bone after termination of pregnancy is an uncommon gynaecological condition which may be symptomatic with its common features, asymptomatic or present with rather uncommon features. We present a 27 year old Para 0+1 single lady who was referred for suspected cervical carcinoma. She presented with foul smelling watery vaginal discharge and post coital bleeding following a surgical induced abortion performed 8 years prior to presentation. Her mother was receiving treatment for cervical cancer at the time of her presentation. Further evaluation confirmed retained foetal bones; they were removed and the symptoms stopped. The case highlights an uncommon presentation of retained foetal bone in the cervix mimicking cervical malignancy. It is a diagnosis that should be considered as a possible complication of pregnancy termination..en_US
