Clear cell variant of intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma: Report of a rare entity

摘要

Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma of jaw bones is a rare lesion. Abundance of clear cells in an intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma may complicate its histopathologic diagnosis. It becomes extremely important to distinguish this lesion from other clear cell lesions of jaw region. Here, we report a case of clear cell variant of intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the mandible.Keywords: Clear cells, intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma, mandible, mucicarmine staining, PAS
