What is it about?
Non-puerperal uterine inversion is an exceptionally uncommon condition, most frequently described in multiparous patients. It is typically triggered by an underlying uterine mass, either benign or malignant, with submucous myomas being the most frequent cause.

Why is it important?
Diagnosis is often challenging due to its nonspecific presentation. In younger women, this condition may raise suspicion of an associated malignancy. We present the case of a 44-year-old woman who developed a non-puerperal uterine inversion secondary to a benign submucous fibroid.
Perspectives
Uterine inversion is more commonly described as an obstetric complication than a gynaecological one; it is defined as the inverting of the uterus into a finger or ‘uterine invagination’. Uterine inversion is serious and can be life-threatening due to the hypovolaemic shock it causes [1].
