title: [Endometriosis in tamoxifen therapy].
abstract: Tamoxifen is widely used in anti-oestrogen treatment of breast cancer. Recent reports show that, due to oestrogen-agonistic effects, tamoxifen is associated with endometrial carcinoma. We report on the case of a patient who developed endometriosis during tamoxifen treatment.
