“…It can be differentiated from CEOT as smears mainly show numerous calcifications, amorphous, eosinophilic material, and clusters of round epithelial cells with prominent nucleoli . Our case did not show these features.…”

Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare, odontogenic tumor of the jaws with mandibular involvement usually present in sixth decade of life with female preponderance. It is classified as a malignant tumor of odontogenic origin in 2005 by the World Health Organization because of its aggressive and destructive growth capacity and potential to metastasize. It needs to be distinguished from other primary and metastatic clear cell tumors of the oral and maxillofacial region. Recently, CCOCs have been noted to harbor a Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 gene RNA-binding protein 1 (EWSR1) and activating transcription factor (ATF) gene translocation. To date, cytologic features of only one case have been reported in the literature. We report an additional case of 55-year-old woman with enlarging mass in the left mandible. This report describes cytologic and immunohistochemical features of CCOC with positive EWSR1 gene rearrangements by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). As diagnosis of CCOC is challenging on fine-needle aspiration, immunohistochemistry and FISH analysis are very useful diagnostic tool in clear cell lesions of mandible.

“…The cytologic smears typically show polyhedral squamous cells with often striking nuclear pleomorphism and variable presence of amorphous congophilic material (amyloid) and calcific material in the background. 6 The extracellular eosinophilic material in the present case failed to show birefringence under polarized light (Congo red stain). Minimal nuclear variation and presence of columnar cells were additional points against CEOT.…”
