Abstract
Introduction: Acutenon-puerperal inversion of the uterus is very rare and without a high index of suspicion, severe complications are possible.
Case Presentation: This study reports the case of a woman with an asymptomatic fibroid who presented in shock with a vaginal mass and bleeding. The mass was a uterine leiomyoma complicated with uterine inversion. She recovered well from an emergency total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy.
Conclusion: A high index of suspicion and immediate intervention are key points for all women presenting with a vaginal mass and vaginal bleeding.
