vaginal adenosis

Disordered growth of the glandular cells of the vagina. It is a common finding in women whose mothers were exposed to diethylstilbesterol (DES) during pregnancy. Close follow-up of women with vaginal adenosis is needed because the condition is occasionally a harbinger of glandular cancer. See also: adenosis
