Abstract


Inversion of the uterus is a rare gynecological condition. The majority of reported cases were encountered in the immediate postpartum period. A non-puerperal inversion occurs when the uterus acts to expel a submucous lesion attached to the fundus, such as uterine fibroid, endometrial carcinoma, sarcoma or polyp. We report a case of spontaneous postmenopausal uterine inversion without underlying pathology. The diagnosis of non-puerperal uterine inversion is often difficult and requires a high index of suspicion
