Abstract
A 46-year-old woman with medical history of breast cancer on tamoxifen presented with syncope. On arrival to the hospital, the patient developed massive haematemesis and a subsequent esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed oesophageal varices without any known history of liver disease. Further evaluation identified portal vein thrombosis probably caused by tamoxifen use. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
