| Abstract: | Seventeen previously unreported cases of clear-cell adenocarcinoma originating in the vagina (13) and cervix (four) are presented. The mean age of the patients was 23.6 years. Four patients with cervical tumors and four patients with vaginal tumors underwent radical hysterectomy, bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, and partial vaginectomy. A total vaginectomy, with replacement of the excised vagina with a split-thickness skin graft or a segment of sigmoid colon, was added to the above procedure in five patients with vaginal cancer. In four patients, definitive treatment was radiation. All of the patients in the present series are without evidence of disease, with follow-up ranging from 21 months to more than ten years. © 1987 by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. |
