Abstract
Introduction: Non-puerperal uterine inversion is an uncommon gynecologic emergency that can be triggered by either malignant or, more commonly, benign tumors. Uterine sarcoma, including the rare subtype known as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, is among the malignant causes. The management of this condition poses a significant challenge for surgeons. Case Report: A 15-year-old nulliparous and virgin female arrived at the emergency department in hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock, experiencing pelvic discomfort and expelling endometrial tissue through the vagina. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy, a pathological examination revealed that the uterine inversion was caused by embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Subsequently, the patient was referred to an oncologist for chemotherapy. Conclusion: Rapid perioperative diagnosis can be achieved through physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with histopathological examination serving as the definitive diagnostic confirmation tool.
