Abstract
Abstract Nonpuerperal uterine inversion is an extremely rare event. Of the small number of cases reported in the literature, most have been associated with benign uterine tumors and only a few with uterine sarcoma or carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, no case associated with cervical carcinoma has been reported. In this paper, we report a rare case of nonpuerperal uterine inversion caused by an aborting fibroid and associated with squamous-cell carcinoma of the cervix in a 70-year-old postmenopausal woman. The patient was successfully treated surgically by excision of the fibroid vaginally, followed by a repositioning of the uterine inversion abdominally (the Haultain method) and total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy. Postoperative radiotherapy for cervical carcinoma was given after histopathologic confirmation. The association of malignancy with a nonpuerperal uterine inversion must be kept in mind and confirmed by histopathology. (J GYNECOL SURG 25:37)
