INTRODUCTION: Adenofibroma is a rare benign Müllerian mixed tumor composed of epithelial and mesenchymal cells. This tumor may occasionally be associatedwith toremifene therapy which is used as an adjuvant drug for breast cancer.

CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of a 55-year-old woman with adenofibroma of the endometrium. This patient was receiving toremifene after surgery andneoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. There was no evidence oftumor residual or recurrence at 32 months of MRI follow-up.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, we report a rare case of endometrial adenofibroma in a patient receiving toremifene. It must be borne in mind that long-termtoremifene therapy may increase the frequency of endometrial neoplasms.
