Abstract

Although described as a postpartum complication, uterine inversion may also occur in nonpregnant women. We report a case of nonpuerperal uterine inversion, because of a large exteriorized submucous myoma in a 40-year-old woman, which was surgically managed by hysterectomy using a combined laparoscopic and vaginal approach.
