Abstract

We experienced a case of pregnancy after hysterosalpingogram and residual lipiodol in the extraperitoneal space. Initially, we suspected a metallic remnant; however, analysis by mass spectrometer confirmed that it was a remnant of lipiodol.

Keywords: hysterosalpingogram; lipiodol; mass spectrometry; remnant.
