Uterine inversion by a mixed müllerian tumor of the corpus.

Abstract

Mixed müllerian tumors (MMT) of the uterus have been reported following the use of tamoxifen. Rarely, these tumors lead to an uterine inversion. The surgical approach of a uterine inversion forms a therapeutic challenge. In this article, a case of uterine inversion due to a MMT is reported, together with a literature review regarding the developing mechanisms and management.
