A Rare Case Report
Keywords:
Cervix, clear cell carcinoma, DES, postmenopausal
Abstract
Clear cell carcinoma of cervix is a rare tumor, accounting for about 4% of cases of cervical adenocarcinoma. It commonly occurs in young women whose mothers had been exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES). We are reporting a case of clear cell carcinoma of cervix in a 58 year old postmenopausal woman with no history of intrauterine exposure of DES.References
