Özet
Clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare variant of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cervix and vagina. The most common presenting symptom is abnormal vaginal bleeding. Here, we report a case and literature review of CCA of cervix and vagina which was incidentally diagnosed after surgery performed for myoma uteri. Since CCA is an extremely rare disease, standard screening tests, diagnostic tools and treatment methods have not been completely established yet. These features of CCA make it difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Hence, additional studies are needed to diagnose CCA correctly and determine definitive management and treatment principles through meta-analysis using multicenter data.
