RESUMEN

This is a case report of a 17-year-old woman who experienced distant intravascular migration of a radio-opaque Nexplanon contraceptive implant. She presented with an impalpable implant and this was located using CT in the left lower lobe pulmonary artery. Significant migration of a contraceptive implant is an uncommon risk. Using radio-opaque contraceptive implants such as Nexplanon increases the ability to locate them if migration occurs.
