Uterine inversion caused by uterine sarcoma: A case report

Uterine inversion caused by uterine sarcoma is a rare condition with 12 rep orted cases to date according to a MEDLINE search. We report two cases of t his rare condition. A 71- and a 72-year-old woman presented with uterine sa rcomas rapidly extruded into the vagina. In both cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans showed U-shaped uterine cavities and the pedicles of th ese tumors were attached to the uterine fundi. Pathological examination con firmed a leiomyosarcoma and a heterologous carcinosarcoma. Uterine inversio n can occur when uterine sarcoma rapidly increases in size and extrudes int o the vagina. MRI should be performed in the diagnosis of this rare combina tion.
