Tamoxifen therapy may result in a variety of endometrial proliferative lesions, including adenocarcinoma, and as recently suggested, proliferative changes within endometriosis. This report describes an endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising in ovarian endometriosis in a patient taking tamoxifen. There were also foci of benign and borderline endometrioid adenofibroma in the same ovary and a synchronous endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma in the uterus. The spectrum of benign, borderline, and malignant endometrioid neoplasia arising within endometriosis suggests that tamoxifen, as a result of its estrogenic effects, may cause proliferative and, in rare instances, malignant changes in endometriosis.
他莫昔芬治疗可能导致多种子宫内膜增生性病变,包括腺癌,并且正如最近所表明的,还可导致子宫内膜异位症内的增生性改变。本报告描述了1例服用他莫昔芬的患者,其卵巢子宫内膜异位症发生了子宫内膜样腺癌。同一卵巢中还存在良性及交界性子宫内膜样腺纤维瘤灶,且子宫中存在同步性子宫内膜样腺癌。子宫内膜异位症内出现的良性、交界性和恶性子宫内膜样肿瘤谱表明,他莫昔芬由于其雌激素效应,可能导致子宫内膜异位症发生增生性改变,在罕见情况下还可导致恶性改变。
