Postmenopausal Uterine Inversion Associated With Endometrial Polyps

Abstract

In Brief BACKGROUND Postmenopausal uterine inversion is an extremely rare gynecologic complication. We report a case of uterine inversion associated with endometrial polyps alone. CASE A postmenopausal nullipara with a history of recurrent postmenopausal bleeding was evaluated for persistent vaginal bleeding. Benign endometrial polyps were found, and the patient's symptoms improved after a therapeutic dilation and curettage. She had acute onset of profuse vaginal bleeding 3 months later and a mass protruded from the cervix. A laparotomy revealed an inverted uterus that was resolved by the Haultain technique and was followed by total abdominal hysterectomy. CONCLUSION Nonpuerperal uterine inversion associated with endometrial polyps was successfully treated surgically. Endometrial polyps were associated with nonpuerperal uterine inversion in a postmenopausal woman.
