'''Clear cell carcinoma''', also '''clear cell adenocarcinoma''', is an aggressive uncommon [[malignancy]] seen in the [[gynecologic pathology|gynecologic tract]], [[skin]] and elsewhere.


A broader [[differential diagnosis]] for clear cell tumours is found in the ''[[clear cell tumours]]'' article.
