ObjectivesTo assess the outcome and the fertility aspects in the particular population of cervical and/or vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) associated or not to previous in utero diethylstilbestrol exposure.MethodsFrom January 1970 to December 2003, data from 61 consecutive patients with cervical and/or vaginal histologically proven CCA treated with brachytherapy (BT) aimed at a conservative treatment at the Institut Gustave Roussy as a part of treatment were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe median follow-up was 9.4 years, ranging from 0.3 to 27.4 years. The 5-year specific overall survival rate was 79%. The median time of disease-free survival was 5.8 years. In the subgroup of 42 patients with a cervical CCA, 12 patients tried to be pregnant, 2 patients became pregnant and had miscarriages (P2M2 and P1M1). No pregnancy has been observed in 10 patients exclusively owing to anomalies of the reproductive tract: 6 patients had partial or total diaphragm, 2 patients had an anatomical alteration of the uterus, 1 patient had atrophic endometrium, and 1 patient had primary infertility. In the subgroup of 19 patients with a vaginal CCA, 7 patients tried to be pregnant. All of them had no morphological and/or functional anomalies of the genital tract. Three of 7 patients had delivered healthy babies (P1D1, P2D2, and P3M2D1), and another one had a miscarriage (P1M1). Moreover, all babies were delivered by cesarean section. The pregnancy rate was 10% (6 of 61 patients) with 3 healthy babies.ConclusionConservative approach in patients with female genital tract CCA including BT gives good results with good survival rates and an interesting global pregnancy rate.

Clear Cell Carcinomas of Müllerian origin are extremely rare within the upper urinary system. Their morphology is identical to that of the Clear Cell Carcinomas of the female genital tract. When they arise in the urinary tract, it is thought to be due to ectopic Müllerian embryogenesis. Here, we present a case of a 21-year-old woman with a Clear Cell Carcinoma, Müllerian type, arising from the renal pelvis. Histologically, it consisted of tubulopapillary architecture with associated foamy macrophages and a mucinous background. The neoplastic cells exhibited variably sized round nuclei with prominent nucleoli, eosinophilic to vacuolated cytoplasm with occasional intracytoplasmic mucin vacuoles, and a hobnail appearance. Immunohistochemical stains showed that the neoplastic cells were positive for Pax-8, p53, CK7, HMWK 903, and INI-1 and focally positive for p504s (AMACR). The neoplastic cells were negative for GATA-3, CK5/CK6, p63, CK20, and CDX-2 immunostains, ruling out urothelial or enteric phenotype. Additional immunostains performed by an outside institution showed that the neoplastic cells were positive for HNF-1β. The overall morphology and immunophenotype were consistent with Clear Cell Carcinoma of Müllerian origin arising from the renal pelvis. Follow-up revealed no metastasis or other tumor sites, supporting that this was the primary location.

Synchronous cancers involving both endometrium and ovary in the female genital tract is a well-recognized phenomenon. However, most of them are metastatic lesions arising from one organ and simultaneous primary cancer occurring in both organs is relatively rare. We report a case with dual primary cancer occurring in both ovaries and endometrium with three different histologies. Recently, a 46-year-old women presented with vaginal bleeding was found to have FIGO stage IC clear cell carcinoma of the left ovary, stage IA borderline mucinous cystadoma of the right ovary, and stage IB endometrial carcinoma of endometrioid type. We present this case with a brief review of references.

Malignant clear cell tumors of the head and neck are uncommon. Primary tumors may arise from the salivary glands, thyroid gland, or parathyroid glands, while metastatic tumors most commonly arise from the lungs, kidneys, and female genital tract. Renal cell carcinoma is the third most common metastatic tumor to the bone and soft tissues of the head and neck. Despite this, there have been few reported cases of renal clear cell carcinoma metastases to the neck. Here we report a unique case of an otherwise asymptomatic young woman with a left neck mass as the first clinical sign of advanced renal clear cell carcinoma.
