Non-puerperal uterine inversion due to uterine sarcomas represents a very rare event with no reliable estimate of frequency in the literature. Clinically, the diagnosis of inversion may be difficult, as far as imaging procedures are concerned, although ultrasonography may prove to be useful. However, some characteristics such as the indentation of the fundic area and a depressed longitudinal groove extending from the uterus to the center of the inverted portion are difficult to recognize. Moreover, there is no specific computed tomography feature accurate enough to aid in the differential diagnosis. Here, we report a case of uterine inversion due to Müllerian uterine adenosarcoma whose preoperative workup and diagnosis took advantage of the application of magnetic resonance imaging.
非产褥期子宫内翻由于子宫肉瘤引起是一种非常罕见的事件,文献中没有可靠的频率估计。就影像学检查而言,临床诊断内翻可能很困难,尽管超声检查可能被证明是有用的。然而,一些特征,如基部区域的凹陷和从子宫延伸到倒置部分中心的凹陷的纵向槽,很难识别。此外,没有足够准确的特定计算机断层扫描特征来辅助鉴别诊断。在这里,我们报告了一例由于米勒管子宫腺肉瘤引起的子宫内翻,其术前检查和诊断得益于磁共振成像的应用。
