Endometrial adenocarcinoma after in utero diethylstilbesterol exposure.
The association of cervicovaginal adenocarcinoma and in utero diethylstilbesterol exposure is well known. There is concern that offspring exposed in utero may be predisposed to develop other malignancies as well. Presented is a case of endometrial adenocarcinoma occurring in this clinical setting. To the best of the authors' knowledge this association has not been reported previously.
