ABSTRACT
The authors report the case of a patient aged 27 suffering from a clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina which was related to her mother taking Diethylstilboestrol or Distilbene (DES) during her pregnancy. This young woman presented with pulmonary metastases for which several trials of chemotherapy ended in failure. The case raises several problems amongst which are epidemiologies of cancers induced by Diethylstilboestrol (DES), their prognosis as well as the therapeutic strategies at the time of diagnosis and the recurrences which occur as metastases.
