Abstract

Fallopian tube prolapse (FTP) presents with symptoms of pelvic pain and vaginal discharge and has been reported as a rare complication after hysterectomy without salpingectomy. On other hand, uterine perforation is common complication reported with dilation and curettage (D&C). Authors reported an unusual case of fallopian tube prolapse through the uterine rent as an unrecognised uterine perforation.
