Polypoid endometriosis and other benign gynaecological complications associated with Tamoxifen therapy—a case to illustrate features on magnetic resonance imaging

Huge polypoid endometriosis: report of a case and review of the literature

“…Compared to literature cases [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] (Table 1), our case was younger, considerably huge in size, and the lesions developed in the pelvis rapidly as soon as there was a break of hormonal therapy. The cause of this rapid growth of lesions is uncertain, but interruption of hormonal treatment could have contributed to hyperestrinism and raised polypoid masses in this case.…”

“…Tamoxifen, which is widely used as an adjuvant therapy for breast cancer, exhibits an anti-estrogen effect on the breast while being an agonist on the uterus. Several cases [9,10] of polypoid endometriosis in tamoxifen users can support that hyperestrinism is one of NA not available, EPRT estrogen progestin replacement therapy, ERT estrogen replacement therapy the causes of this disease. Furthermore, Othman et al [11] reported a case of polypoid endometriosis following gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist.…”

MR Imaging of Polypoid Endometriosis of the Ovary

“…11 An established radiologicˆnding of endometrioma associated with malignant tumor is a cystic component with mass formation that shows gadolinium enhancement. [1][2][3][4] In our case, solid components in the cystic mass demonstrated hyperintense signal intensity on T 2 -weighted image and intermediate signal intensity on enhancement study.…”

Two Cases of Polypoid Endometriosis: An Uncommon Variant of Endometriosis

“…Polypoid endometriosis was first described by Mostoufizadeh and Scully in 1980, for an uncommon and distinctive form of endometriosis with histological features simulating those of a uterine endometrial polyp [3,4]. This form of endometriosis is Polypoid Endometriosis J Med Cases.…”
