  We present a rare localization for a foreing body in the urinary system, and review the bibliography to know about it existence, frequency and localization.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present the case of a 49 year old woman who referreds she had introduced a metallic objet in her genital area.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After the necessary tests, we could see a metallic cylinder. It was 8 cm long and was localized inside the right pelvic ureter.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
