clear cell carcinoma

Clear cell carcinoma.

Epithelial tumors (65-75%) - serous or mucinous cystadenoma/carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, Brenner tumor 2.

However, other subtypes of endometrial cancer exist and carry a less favorable diagnosis such as the uterine papillary serous carcinoma and the clear cell carcinoma.

Uterine clear cell carcinoma (CC) is a rare form of endometrial cancer with distinct morphological features on pathology; it is aggressive and has high recurrence rate.

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma, abbreviated HCCC, is a rare malignant salivary gland tumour, with a good prognosis, that is usually found on the tongue or palate.

The 21 samples consisted of eight normal kidneys, nine clear cell carcinomas (CC), two chromophobe carcinomas (Chr), one urothelial carcinoma and one metanephric adenoma.

Endometrial adenocarcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, uterine papillary serous carcinoma, and malignant mixed Müllerian tumors are part of the spectrum of uterine tumors in Lynch syndrome.

Abu-Rustum NR, Su W, Levine DA, et al.: Pediatric radical abdominal trachelectomy for cervical clear cell carcinoma: a novel surgical approach.

Nine patients were diagnosed with clear cell carcinomas (CC), two with chromophobe cell carcinomas (Chr), one with a papillary urothelial carcinoma, and one with a metanephric adenoma.

The histologic differential diagnosis includes mucoepidermoid carcinoma (clear cell variant), acinic cell carcinoma (clear cell variant), epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma and metastatic clear cell carcinoma.

Clear cell tumors are characterized by large epithelial cells with abundant clear cytoplasm and may be seen in association with endometriosis or endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary, bearing a resemblance to clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium.

However, a study by Delahunt et al (2007) has shown that the Fuhrman grading is ideal for clear cell carcinoma but may not be appropriate chromophobe renal cell carcinomas and that the staging of cancer (accomplished by CT scan) is a more favourable predictor of the prognosis of this disease.
