Clear cell myoepithelial carcinoma is a very rare disease which develops primarily in the parotid gland. To date, only 17 cases of clear cell myoepithelial carcinoma have been reported worldwide. Among them, only three cases developed in the minor salivary gland in the oral cavity. No cases developed in the base of the tongue. Here, we report a new case of clear cell myoepithelial carcinoma that developed in the tongue base of a 52-year-old female patient. A mass was discovered on the left side of the tongue base. We successfully removed the mass through suprahyoid pharyngotomy approach. The light microscopy examination and various immunohistochemical stainings revealed clear cell myoepithelial carcinoma. During a two year follow-up period, there was no recurrence or local or distant metastasis.
透明细胞肌上皮癌是一种非常罕见的疾病，主要发生在腮腺。迄今为止，全世界仅报道了17例透明细胞肌上皮癌。其中，只有3例发生在口腔小唾液腺。舌根部未发生过此类病例。在此，我们报告一例发生在一名52岁女性患者舌根部的透明细胞肌上皮癌新病例。在舌根部左侧发现一个肿块。我们通过舌骨上咽切开术成功切除了该肿块。光学显微镜检查和各种免疫组织化学染色显示为透明细胞肌上皮癌。在两年的随访期内，没有复发或局部或远处转移。
