[The first Congolese case of cervical clear cell adenocarcinoma].
The authors report the first Congolese case of uterine cervix clear cell adenocarcinoma in a menopausal multipara, whose mother had not been treated by diethystilboestrol (DES). The histological diagnosis was made on embedded-paraffin samples, stained by HE and PAS. Discharged from hospital on parents' request in order to be on infusion and brew-based traditional treatment, the patient died at home two months after diagnosis.
