Abstract

Objective: Non-puerperal uterine inversion is a rare occurrence. The common etiology for this condition is uterine sarcoma, endometrial carcinoma, and myoma.

Case Presentation: This case is a 44-year-old woman with a protruding malodorous vaginal mass, abdominal pain, and urinary retention. Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy was performed.

Conclusion: Diagnosis of uterine inversion might be difficult and requires a high index of suspicion.

Keywords: Uterine inversion, Myoma, Nonpuerperal, endometrial carcinoma, hysterectomy, uterine sarcoma
