| Abstract | Tamoxifen has been widely used in the treatment of breast cancer. The article reports four patients who developed some of the iatrogenic gynaecological complications associated with tamoxifen treatment. All patients presented with postmenopausal bleeding and their endometrial pathologies included endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial polyp and endometrial carcinoma. Clinicians should be aware of this association and prompt investigation is needed in postmenopausal women taking tamoxifen when symptoms occur. |
