Clear cell carcinoma, also clear cell adenocarcinoma, is an aggressive uncommon malignancy seen in the gynecologic tract, skin and elsewhere.
A broader differential diagnosis for clear cell tumours is found in the clear cell tumours article.
Gynecologic pathology
Ovary
Cervix
Vagina
Skin
- Clear cell basal cell carcinoma.[1]
- Others.
Gastrointestinal pathology
Clear cell variant of hepatocellular carcinoma
Main article: Hepatocellular carcinoma
Morphologically, it may be similar to clear cell renal cell carcinoma.[2]
Genitourinary pathology
Urinary bladder
Urethra
Renal cell carcinoma
These aren't always grouped with clear cell carcinoma... but they have clear cell in the name:
Among others, clear cells may be seen in:
Head and neck pathology
Main article: Head and neck pathology
Salivary gland
Main article: Salivary gland
- Rare.
- Some consider clear cell carcinoma of the salivary gland a variant of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma.[3]
