Clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium and uterine cervix is a rare entity. Most of the recent literature deals with its occurrence in young women, and links it with intrauterine exposure to synthetic estrogens. Three cases of clear cell carcinoma in postmenopausal women are presented, with their histopathological findings. The clinical picture, incidence, origin and treatment of this neoplasm are reviewed.
