Granulosa cell tumor of the ovary after long-term use of tamoxifen and toremifene.

摘要

The relation between the use of tamoxifen and gynecologic tumors has been documented. In this case, a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman had been treated with tamoxifen for 5 years followed by toremifene for 1.5 years due to the presence of stage II estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. The patient was found to have a stage Ic granulosa cell tumor of the ovary despite undergoing annual gynecologic examinations. This report presents a case of granulosa cell tumor of the ovary after the long-term use of tamoxifen and toremifene.
