Core Tip	This case report describes a rare instance of tamoxifen-induced thrombocytopenia in a 51-year-old woman with breast cancer. Thrombocytopenia developed four weeks after starting tamoxifen and resolved upon discontinuation, only to recur after rechallenge, confirming causality. The case highlights the need for regular blood count monitoring during tamoxifen therapy to detect rare hematologic adverse effects early. As tamoxifen is not typically associated with thrombocytopenia, this case underscores the importance of clinician awareness and individualized risk-benefit evaluation in managing such patients.
