Main Outcome Measures: Ultrasound scan during further clinical follow up.\udResults: Both patients underwent a diagnostic hysteroscopy, and removal of all the bone fragments with total resolution of their pathology.\udConclusions: Endometrial osseous metaplasia is a rare pathology that should be suspected in patients with a history of secondary infertility, several miscarriages and curettages, that present with an ultrasound image compatible with an intrauterine device.
