A large uterine leiomyoma leading to non-puerperal uterine inversion: A case report

BACKGROUND Although leiomyomas are the most common gynecologic disorders, non-puerperal uterine inversion due to leiomyoma is considered as a rare clinical problem. This condition can occur as a complication of a large sub-mucous leiomyoma that leads to dilate cervix and protrude into vagina. The patient may have several symptoms such as heavy vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain and intermittent acute urinary retention. CASE We presented a 32-year-old nulliparous woman with 17 years of unexplained infertility and diagnosis of a large vaginal prolapsed non-pedunculated leiomyoma. CONCLUSION Haultain's procedure was used to reposition uterine inversion and remove leiomyoma through a posterior incision, using laparotomy.
