[Malignant mixed müllerian tumor of the uterus following tamoxifen for breast cancer: case report].
Tamoxifen is an antioestrogen widely used in the breast cancer treatment. Its paradoxical antioestrogenic action on breast and its oestrogenic action on the endometer is well-known. Since 1988, few cases of malignant mixed müllerian tumors following tamoxifen were described. We report a new case of uterine malignant mixed müllerian tumor four years after the end of tamoxifen for breast cancer.
