Chronic uterine inversion with malignancy mimicking carcinoma cervix

Abstract

Chronic non-puerperal uterine inversion is a rare event, with only a handful of cases reported in literature. We report a case of a 64-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with complaints of mass per vaginam and postmenopausal bleeding. On examination, she appeared to have third-degree cervical descent with an irregular growth seen over what appeared to be the cervix, biopsy of which showed keratinising squamous cell carcinoma. Subsequently, an inverted uterus was diagnosed at laparotomy with an irregular growth seen over the inverted portion of the uterine fundus, histopathology of which revealed squamous cell carcinoma of endometrium.
