A patient is described who was treated with tamoxifen for breast cancer and developed an androgen-producing ovarian tumor of low malignant potential, which itself is a rare condition. Clinically overt virilism was leading to the diagnosis and promptly improved after surgical removal of the tumor. A causal relationship between tamoxifen use and the tumor is discussed on the basis of the known tumor-inducing potential of tamoxifen.
本文描述了一名接受他莫昔芬治疗乳腺癌的患者,该患者发生了一种低恶性潜能的雄激素分泌性卵巢肿瘤,这本身就是一种罕见的情况。临床上明显的男性化表现促使了该肿瘤的诊断,并且在手术切除肿瘤后症状迅速改善。基于他莫昔芬已知的致瘤潜能,讨论了使用他莫昔芬与该肿瘤之间的因果关系。
