Abstract:
A case of vaginal and cervical adenocarcinoma, mostly of clear cell type, in young women have been associated with intrauterine exposure to diethystillbestrol(DES) or other nonsteroidal estrogenic substances and vaginal adenosis. We have encountered a case of clear-cell adenocarcinoma of the cervix uteri of 27years young house wife, in which there was a history of intrauterine exposure to DES. We presented a case with a brief review of related literature.
