Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a chronic non-neoplastic condition where affected organ is replaced by Xanthoma cells alongwith other chronic inflammatory cells. Female genital organs are very rarely involved by the disease. Such inflammation occurring in a thirty-six year old patient is reported here. The presence of intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) probably contributed to the development of this disease in her case. She was successfully treated by conservative surgery. The need to keep patients carrying IUCD under close surveillance to prevent development of this disease in such patients is emphasized in this report.
