ABSTRACT
@#Placenta accreta is one of the most feared complications among gravid women, as it is associated with massive and potentially life-threatening intrapartum and postpartum hemorrhage. Due to its natural history, placenta accreta is only naturally seen or expected as a cause of bleeding only among obstetric patients. This case report describes a rare manifestation of profuse abnormal uterine bleeding secondary to a placenta accreta in a non-gravid patient. The non-pregnant state was evidenced by the absence of history of amenorrhea and pregnancy signs and symptoms, a negative urine pregnancy test and normal serum bhcg results. A diagnosis of placenta accreta was mainly based on a post-hysterectomy histopathological examination. Theoretical explanations to explain this phenomenon is discussed in this case report.
