ABSTRACT
Clear cell adenocarcinoma is a histological type rarely found among cervical cancers. It can be seen in women at all ages and very often mentioned in connection with Diethylstilbestrol (DES) taken by the mother during pregnancy. Its prognosis is severe, requiring early and appropriate management. In front of this rare histological form where the literature still lacks enough examples, we find the interest to report the case of our young patient, where the notion of exposure to DES is absent, and which has been treated with an evolution favorable with no sign of recurrence after 5 years of follow-up. Thus, the objective through our article is to study the characteristics of this type of cancer, in particular its etiopathogenesis, its management and its prognosis.
