- Abstract
Clear cell variant of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the salivary glands is rare. A 55-year-old male patient with recently growing left parotid mass underwent superficial parotidectomy. Although the dominant component of the tumor was composed of clear cells, mucin containing cells were also present. Histochemically, alcian blue stain supported intracellular mucin positivity. Immunohistochemically, p63 was positive. Based on the morphological, histochemical and immunohistochemical findings, the case was diagnosed as mucoepidermoid carcinoma, clear cell variant.
