Clear cell carcinoma arises mainly in the kidneys, thyoid glands, uterus, lung and sweat glands. This tumor is very rare in the salivary glands, but arises mainly in the parotid and minor salivary glands.
We experienced a rare case of clear cell carcinoma in the upper right alveolar ridge. This patient died 18 months after wide radical resection.
We present the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of clear cell carcinoma with literature review.
