Abstract

Background: Although leiomyomas are the most common gynecologic disorders, non-puerperal uterine inversion due to leiomyoma is considered as a rare clinical problem. This condition can occur as a complication of a large sub-mucous leiomyoma that leads to dilate cervix and protrude into vagina. The patient may have several symptoms such as heavy vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain and intermittent acute urinary retention.

Case: We presented a 32-year-old nulliparous woman with 17 years of unexplained infertility and diagnosis of a large vaginal prolapsed non-pedunculated leiomyoma.

Conclusion: Haultain's procedure was used to reposition uterine inversion and remove leiomyoma through a posterior incision, using laparotomy.

Keywords: Haultain’s procedure; Laparotomy; Leiomyoma; Uterine inversion.
