Ultrasonographic Findings

In contrast to the data from that study, other authors have suggested that the increased endometrial thickness found in postmenopausal women treated with tamoxifen is less frequently associated with endometrial abnormalities, even in the presence of a marked thickening and cystic appearance (Achiron et al. 1996 McGonigle et al. 1998). Those ultrasonographic findings often represent sub endometrial processes such as cysts or stromal edema (Bese et al. 1996 Bornstein et al. 1994 Achiron et al. 1995).
