Clear cell carcinoma of minor salivary gland: A case of clinical dilemma

AbstractBackground:Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma is a rare minor salivary gland neoplasm. The treatment of choice is surgical resection with or without post-operative radiotherapy. This tumour often demonstrates a good prognosis.Case report:We report a case of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma arising in the nasopharynx. A 27-year-old female presented with progressive hearing disturbance and tinnitus. On examination, an expansile mass was observed in her nasopharynx. Biopsy was performed and the pathology results returned as clear cell carcinoma.Results and conclusion:Surgical resection was performed trans-orally accompanied by trans-palatal approach. She has no recurrence during more than two years of follow up.

AbstractMalignant change arising in pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary glands is uncommon, with a reported incidence of 2–10 per cent.Only one case where a pleomorphic adenoma became a clear cell carcinoma appears to have been published in the English literature. An additional case of clear cell carcinoma arising in pleomorphic adenoma of a minor salivary gland is reported and the relevant literature discussed.
