Non-puerperal uterine inversions. A two case report and review of literature.
Chronic non-puerperal uterine inversions are rare but the occasional case has to be managed without previous experience. Of the 77 cases reported, 75 (97.4%) were tumour produced and 20% of these tumours were malignant. The importance of taking biopsies from tumours before definitive surgery is highlighted. Adequate surgical management requires experience in vaginal surgery.
