[Vagina cancer in a young woman exposed to diethylstilbestrol: case report and literature review].
We analyzed a 20 year-old patient case exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol, as probably predisposed factor in vaginal cancer. The histopathological report of the incisional biopsy was clear cell vaginal adenocarcinoma, stage III, widespread to the pelvic wall, with metastasis to regional lymph nodes, and lack of distant metastasis. We decided surgical management: protocolized laparotomy, peritoneal washing, retroperitoneal node biopsies and a radical hysterectomy, Piver III, with two thirds parts of vagina. By poor prognosis we decided to offer an adjuvant management, with systemic chemotherapy.
