Diethylstilbestrol exposure during pregnancy with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix in an 8-year-old granddaughter: a multigenerational effect of endocrine disruptors? | LitMetric
Vaginal/cervical clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCAC) has not previously been reported in granddaughters of women treated with diethylstilbestrol (DES) during pregnancy.
An 8-year-old girl diagnosed with cervical CCAC underwent fertility-sparing surgery and radiotherapy, with no recurrence noted after 10 years.
While a direct causal link hasn't been established, this case suggests potential multigenerational effects of DES and highlights the importance of monitoring granddaughters of DES-treated women.
Article Abstract
To date, vaginal/cervical clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCAC) has not been reported in the granddaughters of women treated with diethylstilbestrol (DES) during pregnancy. We present an 8-year-old girl with a history of severe vaginal bleeding who was diagnosed with cervical CCAC. She underwent fertility-sparing surgery and radiotherapy. No sign of recurrence was detected throughout a 10-year follow-up. Her grandmother had received DES therapy during pregnancy with the patient's mother. Although no direct causal link is demonstrated, this case raises for the first time, the hypothesis of multigenerational effects of DES in girls and strongly suggests the need to follow the granddaughters of DES-treated women.
