Non-puerperal uterine inversion associated with endometrial carcinoma--a case report

BACKGROUND: Non-puerperal uterine inversion is rare, and a case associated with endometrial carcinoma is even rarer. It is difficult to diagnose the condition preoperatively and most cases are diagnosed at surgery. CASE: We describe a case of uterine inversion associated with endometrial carcinoma. Initially, the patient was thought to have a cervical adenocarcinoma and treated with chemotherapy; however, a diagnosis of uterine inversion was made with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography during pre-surgical chemotherapy. We performed total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. CONCLUSION: MRI and ultrasonography can be extremely useful tools for diagnosing uterine inversion.     

Non-puerperal uterine inversion due to uterine sarcoma

BACKGROUND: Uterine inversion is a very rare pathological condition that usually occurs in puerperium. Non- puerperal uterine inversion is exceptional and to our knowledge only a few cases of uterine inversion due to a uterine sarcoma have been reported. CASE REPORT: A 79-year-old woman, gravida 0, para 0, presented with vaginal bleeding. Pelvic examination under anesthesia revealed a huge mass coming from the cervix filling the vagina to the introitus, and rectal examination could not identify the uterus. Diagnosis of uterine inversion was made and the patient was submitted to total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymph node sampling. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the 5th postoperative day. She underwent postoperative pelvic radiation, and no recurrence was found during the 19-month follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Chronic non-puerperal uterine inversion can be considered a rare complication of malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the uterus.     

Non-puerperal incomplete lateral uterine inversion with submucous leiomyoma: a case report

A perimenopausal, multiparous woman presented with prolapse. Clinically, there was a doubt between prolapsed submucous leiomyoma and uterine inversion. Laparoscopy showed an unusual pattern of uterine inversion restricted to the left cornual region with a submucous leiomyoma. A vaginal hysterectomy with due considerations for alterations of anatomical relationships minimized operative morbidity.     

Non-puerperal uterine inversion in association with uterine sarcoma: case report in a 26-year-old and review of the literature

INTRODUCTION: Inversion of the uterus associated with a uterine sarcoma is extremely rare with only 17 cases reported since 1887, so that its clinical presentation and appearance at laparotomy may be confusing. CASE: A 26-year-old woman presented with a vaginal mass and bleeding. At laparotomy, her uterus appeared depressed or concave. The final diagnosis of uterine sarcoma and inversion was unique in her age group. CONCLUSIONS: Uterine sarcoma with inversion can occur in the premenopausal age group. It presents as a vaginal mass with bleeding. As a clue to the diagnosis, the uterus per se may not be palpable or it may appear concave on physical exam or at laparotomy.     

Non-puerperal complete uterine inversion caused by malignant mixed mullerian tumour of the uterus

Non-puerperal uterine inversion is an extremely rare entity, which many gynaecologists would never come across in their lifetime. Diagnosis can be difficult. Our patient was a 91-year-old lady who presented with profuse vaginal bleeding. Hysteroscopy was unsuccessful as the cervix was completely replaced by a friable growth. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was planned as a palliative measure to stop bleeding. Uterine inversion was suspected for the first time at laparotomy and confirmed after dissecting the hysterectomy specimen, which revealed both tubes and ovaries lying inside the inverted uterus. Histology showed a malignant mixed mullerian tumour of the uterus.     

Non-puerperal inversion of the uterus caused by leiomyosarcoma: a case report and clinical management

Uterine inversion is a rare complication of the postpartum period, but it is an even rarer complication of the non-puerperal period. A 49-year-old nulliparous woman was admitted to the hospital with the following complaints: abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain, anuria and a mass protruding from the vulva. The mass was removed by twisting and a laparotomy was required for massive bleeding due to the inversion. The diagnosis of complete inversion was made during the laparotomy. Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and the pathological examination revealed a leiomyosarcoma. Uterine inversion in the non-puerperal period is an extremely rare event and it should be kept in mind that the cause of the inversion may be a malignant disease, like leiomyosarcoma.     

Non-puerperal incomplete uterine inversion due to large sub-mucous fundal fibroid found at hysterectomy: a report of two cases

Two cases of non-puerperal incomplete uterine inversion due to large sub-mucous fundal fibroid are presented. This is rare and the diagnosis is often difficult. In both the cases diagnosis was made only during surgery.     

Complete non-puerperal uterine inversion caused by uterine hemangioma: A case report

ObjectiveUterine inversion is a rare postpartum complication. Non-puerperal uterine inversion is extremely rare. It mostly occurs with uterine tumors, especially leiomyoma. In most instances, the inversion may not be noticed until the time of surgery. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult.Case reportWe report a case of non-puerperal complete uterine inversion that was initially diagnosed as cervical cancer. The uterine inversion was diagnosed preoperatively and she underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy. The histological examination showed uterine hemangioma.ConclusionAccurate diagnosis of the non-puerperal uterine inversion is important. Surgical intervention is necessary and it provides good prognosis. Hemangioma may be one of the causes of non-puerperal uterine inversion.
