Clear cell carcinoma, also clear cell adenocarcinoma, is an aggressive uncommon malignancy seen in the gynecologic tract, skin and elsewhere.
Gynecologic pathology
Ovary
Cervix
Vagina
Skin
Gastrointestinal pathology
Clear cell variant of hepatocellular carcinoma
Main article: Hepatocellular carcinoma
Morphologically, it may be similar to clear cell renal cell carcinoma.[1]
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:
Head and neck pathology
Main article: Head and neck pathology
Salivary gland
Main article: Salivary gland
- Rare.
- Some consider it a variant of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma.[2]
