    Uterine inversion is characterized by the invagination of the fundus of the uterus through the vagina. It’s a rare postpartum complication leading to massive bleeding and it’s extremely rare in non-puerperal cases. Non-puerperal uterine inversion is caused by tumors exerting force on the fundus of the uterus, turning the uterus inside out. It is most frequently associated with benign tumors such as submucosal leiomyomas however, malignant tumors can also be associated. We reported the case of 43-year-old women, G1P1, who was admitted at the emergency department for a bleeding vaginal prolapsed mass. A pelvic MRI performed revealing a complete uterine inversion probably due to a submucous myoma or a malignant process. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy by both natural and abdominal way. Pathological study revealed a degenerating leiomyoma. The patient recovered well from the operation with no complications.

    Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the embryo implants outside the uterine cavity. It is a leading source of morbidity and mortality within pregnancy. Methotrexate, a folic acid antagonist, has been widely used to treat appropriately selected ectopic pregnancies. We report the case of a 20-year-old woman, married, G2P0, having as antecedent a right tubal ectopic pregnancy benefiting from a right salpingectomy two years ago, who presents actually a paucisymptomatic ectopic pregnancy. Medical treatment with methotrexate was chosen with monitoring of the patient's hemodynamic status and hCG level
