  • Title: Endobronchial clear cell adenocarcinoma occurring in a patient 15 years after treatment for DES-associated vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma.
    Author: Hall WB, Detterbeck FC, Livasy CA, Fowler WC.
    Journal: Gynecol Oncol; 2004 Jun; 93(3):708-10. PubMed ID: 15196869.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) of the vagina and cervix in young women is associated with prenatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES). Parenchymal pulmonary metastases are known to occur following treatment of the primary tumor. Most recurrences present within 2 to 3 years of the initial diagnosis. CASE: This is a case report of a solitary endobronchial clear cell adenocarcinoma occurring 15.3 years after the initial diagnosis of DES-induced CCA. CONCLUSIONS: This case suggests that management of clear cell cancer survivors should involve long-term follow-up because of the potential for the appearance of a new focus of clear cell adenocarcinoma.
