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.
