Nonpuerperal inversion of the uterus by endometrial stromal sarcoma of the uterine fundus.
Nonpuerperal inversion of the uterus is rare; the 69th such case in the English literature is reported. Although caused most frequently by submucous leiomyoma, nonpuerperal uterine inversion may be caused by carcinoma or, as in this report, a sarcoma of the uterine fundus. For optimal therapy and to reduce surgical complications, the correct preoperative diagnosis of uterine inversion and any concomitant disease is mandatory.
