ABSTRACT
Uterine torsion, which most often occurs during pregnancy, is rare. Torsion of a nongravid uterus is extremely rare and is associated with pelvic adhesions, uterine leiomyomas, or uterine anomalies. We experienced a case of uterine torsion, with a huge subserosal leiomyoma and multiple intramural leiomyomas, in a postmenopausal woman, one that showed the most extreme degree of rotation among the known cases of uterine torsion. Necrosis of the uterus and both adnexae was observed. A total abdominal hysterectomy with a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. We present this case with a brief review of the relevant literature.
