Management and Treatment of an Emergent Nonpuerperal Uterine Inversion With a Leiomyoma

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Uterine inversion is a rare medical emergency that occurs when the uterus inverts and, at times, protrudes from the vagina. Uterine inversions can be puerperal, related to childbirth, or nonpuerperal, often secondary to tumors within the uterine cavity. Our case presents a nonpuerperal uterine inversion caused by a pedunculated submucosal leiomyoma. The case follows a patient from her initial presentation through the resolution of her condition with a vaginal myomectomy and abdominal hysterectomy.
