Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma of the anterior lingual salivary gland: A case report and review of the literature

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a low-grade epithelial tumor classified as a subtype of salivary gland carcinoma. HCCC occurs most frequently on the palate and base of the tongue. Noteworthy, HCCC arising in the anterior of the tongue is quite rare and it has yet to be fully characterized in the clinical literature. Herein, we present a case of a 59‐year‐old man with HCCC on the anterior of the tongue. A present case was confirmed by a detection of EWSR1-ATF1fusion gene with a same breakpoint that previously reported in HCCC cases. To our knowledge, this report represents the rare case of HCCC arising in the anterior of the tongue in the literature.
