Early clear cell “sugar” lung cancer management: A case report and a brief literature review

Abstract

A clear cell tumor is a histological entity that rarely originates outside of the kidney. We describe a rare case of a clear cell tumor of the lung, also known as “sugar cancer,” that occurred in a 74 year‐old male patient, and perform a brief literature review. This report highlights the importance of an adequate disease management team, including surgeons, oncologists, and pathologists, to identify the best therapeutic approach to improve survival rates and the quality of life of patients affected by this rare disease.

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor of the lung: A case report and literature review

“…We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Wanfang Data, and the China Science and Technology Journal database with the search terms “perivascular epithelioid cell tumor”, “PEComa”, “clear cell sugar tumor” and “CCST” from inception to January 22, 2022. We retrieved 29 case reports 4–32 of primary lung PEComa, which are summarized in Table 2. They included 12 female patients and 17 male patients, ranging from 28 to 79 years old (mean age 54 years).…”
