The puerperal uterine inversion is a rare and severe complication occurring in the third stage of labour. The mechanisms are not completely known. However, extrinsic factors such as oxytocic arrests after a prolonged labour, umbilical cord traction or abdominal expression are pointed. Other intrinsic factors such as primiparity, uterine hypotonia, various placental localizations, fundic myoma or short umbilical cord were also reported. The diagnosis of the uterine inversion is mainly supported by clinical symptoms. It is based on three elements: haemorrhage, shock and a strong pelvic pain. The immediate treatment of the uterine inversion is required. It is based on a medical reanimation associated with firstly a manual reduction then surgical treatment using various techniques. We report an observation of a 25 years old grand multiparous patient with a subacute uterine inversion after delivery at home.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is rare mesenchymal tumor that most commonly arises in the vulvo-vaginal region, perineum, and pelvis of women. The term aggressively emphasizes the often infiltrative nature of the tumor and its frequent association with local recurrence. Preoperative diagnosis and treatment may be difficult. We report a 55-year-old patient who presented with a pelvic mass with no significant medical history. The radiological assessment showed a pelvic cystic tumor retro and lateral bladder. A surgical excision was performed with a diagnosis of aggressive angiomyxoma pelvis that misdiagnosed as ovarian tumor. The patient received adjuvant radiotherapy after surgery and remains well with no signs of local recurrence at 12 months follow-up. As surgery is the main treatment, preoperative diagnosis and assessment of extent of the tumor for planning surgery can not be overemphasized. The authors discuss this finding through the diagnostic difficulties and the evolution of this entity.
