“…[4] Earlier it was reported to be primarily seen in the parotid gland,[5] but the literature review suggests that this lesion occurs almost exclusively in the intra-oral minor salivary glands with the prevalence of 0.2%-1%. [167] It is most commonly found in palate.…”

Clear cell tumor in oral cavity constitutes an assorted group of lesions, which may be odontogenic, metastatic or of salivary gland origin. Those associated with salivary glands accounts for less than 1% of total cases mainly seen in the major salivary gland. Occurrence of clear cell carcinoma in minor salivary gland is rare and uncommon. Hence, this case of intraoral clear cell carcinoma associated with minor salivary gland of palate in a 57-year-old male patient is being reported.

“…Thus, it is been described as low-grade malignant neoplasm of minor salivary gland. [5791314] Although, most tumors with a major clear cell component are classified as low-grade malignancy tumors, close follow-up is advisable due to the presence of local infiltrative borders microscopically.…”

“…Most tumors with a major clear cell component are classified as tumors with lowgrade malignancy and the incidence of metastasis or local recurrence is low [1,3,5]. In the present case, both the surgical margin and cervical lymph nodes were pathologically tumor-free, so post-operative radiotherapy was not considered.…”

“…CCC is now recognized as a distinct tumor species, although it had previously designated as glycogen-rich adenoma, glycogen-rich adenocarcinoma, clear cell myoepithelioma, adenomyoepithelioma, and epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the intercalated ducts [1][2][3][5][6][7]. Clear cells are observed as a component of numerous benign and malignant salivary gland tumors, so this type of clear cell carcinoma in the salivary gland has been reported under various names.…”

Clear cell carcinoma is rarely found in the salivary gland. It is classified as a low-grade carcinoma. This case demonstrates a low-grade clear cell carcinoma with myoepithelial features in the submandibular gland which differs from hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma and epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma. A 32-year-old man presented with a 7 month history of left submandibular swelling. Left submandibular gland excision and left-sided supra-omohyoid neck dissection were performed. Microscopically, the tumor was circumscribed and composed predominantly of cords and nests of clear ovoid cells, set in a densely hyalinizing stroma. These cells are diffusely immunoreactive for cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and focally reactive for vimentin and smooth muscle actin (SMA). Based on these findings, the tumor was diagnosed as ''a low-grade clear cell carcinoma with myoepithelial features''. The post-operative course was uneventful and the patient is free from disease 21 month after surgery.
