Chronic non puerperal uterine inversion secondary to uterine leiomyoma misdiagnosed as advanced cervical cancer: a rare case report

Abstract

Uterine inversion is an uncommon complication of parturition which often occurs in the immediate postpartum period. The chronic non puerperal uterine inversion is a rare gynaecological clinical condition which usually results from tumour arising from the fundus of the uterus. Here we are present a case of 45 year old lady with non-puerperal chronic uterine inversion secondary to fundal sub mucous fibroid polyp which was initially misdiagnosed as carcinoma cervix. An attempt at vaginal restoration and removal was difficult. Hysterectomy was done by vaginal approach. Pre and Postoperative course in the hospital was uneventful. Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment of the inverted uterus are important to prevent further complications.
