Abstract
Carcinoid tumors are neoplasms of neuroendocrine origin that rarely affect the genital tract. A 75-year-old woman underwent hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy due to vaginal bleeding and uterine pathology (leiomyoma, cervical low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and endometrial hyperplasia on ultrasound). Pathologic examination of the specimen disclosed a uterine corpus carcinoid tumor. The patient had been taking tamoxifen for adjuvant treatment of breast cancer diagnosed and treated seven years before. A review of the literature revealed one case of carcinoid tumor of the uterine wall. There does not appear to be any relationship between tamoxifen and the carcinoid tumors reported.
