“…Only approximately 3% of rhabdomyosarcomas have their primary origin in the female genital tract, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterus being an extremely rare and aggressive tumor 3,4 . To the best of our knowledge, following an extensive published work review carried out on Medline for the period from 1972 until the present date, only 15 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterus of the embryonal histological subtype have been reported 5–13 . Moreover, of these 15 cases, only one was associated with uterine inversion 13 .…”

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas of the uterus are extremely rare malignant tumors and their association with uterine inversion is even rarer. The present case report refers to a 15‐year‐old Brazilian girl admitted to hospital with a 3‐month history of transvaginal bleeding and a mass protruding from the vaginal introitus. Following biopsy of the lesion and confirmation of the diagnosis of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, the patient was submitted to total abdominal hysterectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient died 9 months after surgery. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterus is very rare and extremely aggressive. According to a published work review, there has been only one report to date on the association of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the uterus and uterine inversion.

“…Only in one case, non‐puerperal uterine inversion was associated with an immature teratoma of the uterus in a 15‐year‐old patient with a history of a previous spontaneous abortion 6 months before her hospitalization . Three teenagers, aged 15, 16 and 18 years, were diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, and Ueda et al . reported a uterine inversion in a 28‐year‐old diagnosed with endometrial cancer (Table ).…”

Inversion of the uterus is quite a rare obstetric (puerperal) or gynecological (non-puerperal) condition. Non-puerperal type may be benign or malign mass induced or idiopathic. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case with a large review of literature of uterine inversion in a patient without sexual experience. We report the case of a 52-year-old, unmarried virgo woman, affected by schizophrenia, was referred to our emergency room for evidence of a mass outside of the vaginal introitus, combined with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. The patient underwent vaginal myoma resection and abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy. The diagnosis of uterine inversion was confirmed during operation. Diagnosis of uterine inversion is often not easy and imaging studies might be helpful. Despite the rarity, uterine non-puerperal inversion is possible: for this reason, it is necessary to perform appropriate, conservative treatment, especially in women affected by benign myomas and with a desire for pregnancy.
