Abstract
Clear cell adenocarcinoma is a histological type rarely found among cancers of the vagina. It is often described in young women previously exposed to diethylstilboestrol (DES) taken by mothers during pregnancy. Its prognosis is pejorative, requiring early and modified management according to each case. Given the insufficient data in the literature, we find it important and useful to report and discuss through the rare case of our elderly patient without any notion of exposure to DES, the diagnosis, the therapeutic management and the prognosis of this type of cancer.
