| Diethylstilbestrol (DES) syndrome is a set of signs reported in offspring (children and grandchildren) of women exposed to DES during pregnancy with manifestations of reproductive tract malformations, decreased fertility and increased risk of developing clear cell carcinoma of the vagina and cervix in young women. Reproductive malformations reported in DES syndrome include small, T-shaped uteri and other uterotubal anomalies that increase the risk of miscarriages in women and epididymal cysts, microphallus, cryptorchidism, or testicular hypoplasia in men. |
