Uterine inversion is a rare clinical entity with challenging diagnosis and management. Reports of successfully managed cases contribute to knowledge and aid future management of cases among practitioners. We report a case of a 46 year old para-3 with protrusion of a mass from her vagina and vaginal bleeding of 7 days duration. She was managed as a case of chronic uterine inversion. She was resuscitated and had vaginal myomectomy, Haultin’s procedure and subsequently total abdominal hysterectomy due to ischaemic necrosis of parts of the uterus.

How the largest of the large (> 10 x 8 cms) sub mucous myoma arising from the fundus uteri successively promotes the occurrence of non puerperal uterine inversion over the years as depicted through 3 different illustrations imitating a gradual process; first by forming an indentation in the uterine fundus then progressively causing more dimpling in the verge of uterine inversion until finally giving rise to a full blown picture of complete uterine inversion where the uterine fundus is driven beyond the level of introitus with the consequences of prolapsed incarcerated myoma in a post menopausal woman. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy were performed on all of these 3 women 2 perimenopausal and a postmenopausal; the latter was first facilitated by vaginal myomectomy further supplemented by division of the inversion ring posteriorly as described by Haultain. Key words: Non puerperal uterine inversion, submucous fundal myoma, vaginal myomectomy. doi:10.3126/njog.v1i2.2398 N. J. Obstet. Gynaecol Vol. 1, No. 2, p. 51-54 Nov-Dec 2006

A thirty year old lady para 3+0 presented with complaints of amenorrhoea for eight weeks and slight per vaginal bleeding for 28 days with frequent bouts of profuse bleeding. Total abdominal hysterectomy was done. Naked eye examination of the specimen was suggestive of cervical ectopic pregnancy (CEP). Histopathology report confirmed cervical implantation of placenta. CEP is an extremely rare life threatening form of ectopic pregnancy. (J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2007; 25 : 92-94)

Introduction: Uterine inversion is a condition in which the uterus turns inside out with prolapse of fundus through the cervix into or outside vagina. Chronic inversion cases are rare. We present a rare case of chronic uterine inversion associated with uterine fibroids. Case Report: A 42 year old female, P3 L3 , was admitted with complains of menorrhagia and pain 3 3 lower abdomen for 1 month. Speculum examination revealed a fleshy polyp filling whole of vagina. Upon per vaginal examination size of mass could not be assessed and cervical lips could not be felt. So, a provisional diagnosis of fibroid polyp was made. Per-operatively inversion of tube and ovaries along with a sessile submucosal fundal fibroid polyp of size 10 x 8 cm was found. A revised diagnosis of chronic uterine inversion with sessile fibroid polyp was made. Patient then underwent Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with bilateral Salpingooophrectomy. Conclusion: Chronic inversion should be kept as a differential diagnosis in a patient with history of irregular bleeding associated with dragging pain of lower abdomen and feeling of a mass coming out of introitus. Pre operatively it should be differentiated from fibroid polyp, uterine prolapse and prolapsed hypertrophied ulcerated cervix.

Chronic inversion of uterus is a rare clinical entity which is usually associated with obstetrics complication and rarely with gynaecological disorder like fibroid present at fundus of uterus. We here present a case of 40-year-old female P3L3 with chronic inversion of uterus with fundal fibroid which present with 3year history of abnormal vaginal bleeding. Ultrasonography and MRI revealed cervical fibroid. Due to AUB secondary to cervical fibroid decision of hysterectomy was taken. On laparotomy chronic uterine inversion was present which was corrected by haultain’s procedure. Then hysterectomy was done. Histopathology report suggestive of uterine leiomyoma at fundus of uterus. Chronic uterine inversion associated most commonly with fundal submucous leiomyoma. Other causes are leiomyosarcoma, endometrial carcinoma, cervical carcinoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, mixed mullerian sarcoma. It is an extremely rare gynaecological condition and can be misdiagnosed as cervical fibroid, advanced cervical malignancy or other causes of AUB in females. It could be labelled as gynaecological near miss so a high index of suspicion is necessary for it’s diagnosis.

Non-puerperal acute inversion of uterus is a rare complication that occurs as a complication of intra uterine tumors, especially big sub mucous leiomyoma. It is so rare that many gynecologists may not encounter such a case in their life time professional carrier. This condition causes severe pain, vaginal bleeding and shock. Management consists of manual reposition through cervical ring or surgical corrective measures. We report a case of acute uterine inversion in a 42 years lady due to big sub mucous fibroid. This case was initially managed by vaginal myomectomy then uterus was repositioned by Haultain’s technique, which was abdominal hysterectomy.

Abstract Adenomyoma is a benign tumor composed of smooth muscle and benign endometrium. These tumors typically originate within the uterus. An extrauterine adenomyoma is a rare entity. We report a uterine-like mass consistent with an extrauterine adenomyoma presenting 22 years following a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The mass was pear-shaped with uterine-type smooth muscle and a cavity lined by functional endometrial glands and stroma. To our knowledge, only 4 other cases of an extrauterine uterine-like mass are reported in the literature. Three involved the ovary, while one was located adjacent to the broad ligament with normal pelvic organs. Although none of these other uterus-like masses were described as adenomyomas with uterine-like features, the histologic findings are strikingly similar. An understanding of the müllerian system suggests that either an embryologic malformation or a differential multipotentiality existing in the subcoelomic tissues in response to hormonal stimulation results in a supernumerary müllerian structure like a uterus, as observed in this case. The presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the mass confirms that the tissues in this mass are hormonally responsive. It is most likely that this uterine-like mass arose from the tissues of the secondary müllerian system in response to estrogenic stimulation.

Most patients with advanced or recurrent uterine sarcoma experience disease progression and ultimately die. We present a case of uterine sarcoma with lung metastasis treated with systemic chemotherapy and with no evidence of disease for more than 5 years. A 77-year-old woman underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for carcinosarcoma of the uterus followed by external pelvic radiotherapy. Ten months later, the tumor recurred in the apex of the vagina and was treated with brachytherapy. After 6 months of remission, she presented with pulmonary metastasis. After four cycles of systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin and ifosfamide, the pulmonary nodules completely disappeared. Currently she is still in complete remission after more than 5 years, but unfortunately she has developed myelodysplastic syndrome. This is the first reported case in the literature of cured metastatic uterine carcinosarcoma to lungs, with long-term survival of 5 years.

A 40-year-old woman with mucoepidermoid variant of adenosquamous carcinoma arising in dermoid cyst in left ovary is presented. The patient was staged as IC. Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and pelvic and para-aortic lymph node sampling were carried out. The disease recurred in postoperative 12th month. To our best knowledge, this is 12th case of adenosquamous carcinoma in dermoid cyst and third case of mucoepidermoid variant of adenosquamous carcinoma in the literature.

Abstract Background Subacute uterine inversion is a very rare complication of mid-trimester termination of pregnancy that should be considered in a situation where unsafe abortion occurs. Case presentation We present a case of subacute uterine inversion complicated by hypovolemic shock following an unsafe abortion in a 17-year-old nulliparous unmarried girl. She presented with a history of collapse, mass protruding per vagina that followed Valsalva, and persistent lower abdominal pain but not vaginal bleeding. This followed her second attempt to secretly induce an abortion at 18 weeks amenorrhea. On examination, she was agitated, severely pale, cold on palpation, with an axillary temperature of 35.8 °C, a tachycardia of 143 beats per minute and unrecordable low blood pressure. The abdomen was soft and non-tender with no palpable masses; the uterine fundus was absent at its expected periumbilical position and cupping was felt instead. A fleshy mass with gangrenous patches protruding in the introitus was palpated with no cervical lip felt around it. We made a clinical diagnosis of subacute uterine inversion complicated with hypovolemic shock and initiated urgent resuscitation with crystalloid and blood transfusion. Non-operative reversal of the inversion failed. Surgery was done to correct the inversion followed by total abdominal hysterectomy due to uterine gangrene. Conclusion Our case highlights an unusual presentation of subacute uterine inversion following unsafe abortion. This case was managed successfully but resulted in significant and permanent morbidity.
