ALLAN J. WEILAND, MD, BRUCE J. TARZY, MD and PHILIP E. YOUNG, MD, FACOG

Abstract

Many reports have documented serious pelvic infection associated with an IUD. A case of ligneous pelvic cellulitis with cutaneous sinus tract formation, hydronephrosis, and ureteral obstruction in a patient with an IUD is presented. This is an uncommon manifestation of chronic pelvic infection and responded to antibiotics and steroid administration. The origins and treatment of ligneous cellulitis are discussed.
