title: Uterine inversion by a mixed müllerian tumor of the corpus.
abstract: Mixed müllerian tumors (MMT) of the uterus have been reported following the use of tamoxifen. Rarely, these tumors lead to an uterine inversion. The surgical approach of a uterine inversion forms a therapeutic challenge. In this article, a case of uterine inversion due to a MMT is reported, together with a literature review regarding the developing mechanisms and management.
