Angiomyofi broblastoma (AMFB) is a rare mesenchymal tumor mostly involving the female lower genital tract. Although a large number of cases of vulva and vagina has been reported, a report on a case of the uterine cervix is uncommon. Despite unknown pathogenesis of AMFB, positive immunoreactivity for hormonal receptor of AMFB allows to make an assumption that the hormonal stimuli may have a role on the development of AMFB. Therefore, it is potential that estrogenic effect of tamoxifen gives stimuli on hormonally responsible mesenchymal cells, resulting in AMFB. We report a case of AMFB of the uterine cervix in a breast cancer patient with prolonged tamoxifen treatment with brief literature review.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
