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

Aaron Lupovitch et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2005 Jun.

Abstract

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.
