{Abstract}: Endometrial osseous metaplasia (EOM) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal bone formation in the endometrium. This acts as a foreign body in the uterus. The commonest clinical presentation is secondary infertility. Transvaginal ultrasonography is the mainstay of first-line diagnosis. Hysteroscopy confirms the diagnosis and aids in complete removal. Diagnosis of this condition is crucial as post-treatment fertility outcomes are good. This case highlights the importance of three-dimensional ultrasonography before infertility treatment and after hysteroscopic removal of osseous metaplasia to look for reactive endometrial polyps which may interfere with the embryo implantation and spontaneous conception altering the post-surgical fertility outcome.
