“…2,13 Also, Kulchisky cells were proposed to be a possible origin of clear cell tumor of the lung, because of the dense-core type granules seen in some of the tumor cells. 14 Recently, Gaffey et al 8 reported that clear cell tumor of the lung demonstrated melanocytic differentiation, as evidenced by HMB-45/50-positive cells and tumor melanosomes. However, the histogenesis of the tumor remains unknown.…”

Clear cell tumor of the lung is a rare benign tumor. We report herein a case of clear cell tumor of the lung. A 45 year-old woman with a round mass lesion of approximately 2 cm diameter on chest X-ray underwent a thoracotomy. Pathologic examination revealed sheets of large round or polygonal cells with clear cytoplasm and immunoreactive positivity for HMB-45 and vimentin. Investigation with abdominal CT scans showed no evidence of renal disease, and the tumor was diagnosed as clear cell tumor of the lung.

PEComa (clear cell "sugar" tumor) of the lung is a rare benign tumor of the lung probably arising from the perivascular epithelioid cells (PECs). We report a case of pulmonary PEComa arising from the periphery of the right lobe of a 64-year-old male. To our knowledge, this is the second case in the English literature diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy. In this case report, the clinical, cytologic and immunohistochemical features clear cell "sugar" tumor of the lung are discussed and compared with the previously published literature. The differential diagnosis and methods for distinguishing the various clear cells lesions in the lung are discussed.
