A rare and aggressive form of tumor with a female predilection and more seen with mandible is the clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC). The World Health Organization categorized it as a malignant neoplasm in 2005. This type of tumor is characterized by local recurrences as well as distant metastasis apart from being highly aggressive in nature. Due to the presence of clear cells, it is a diagnostic challenge to the pathologist. Only about 84 cases of maxillary variant have been reported in the literature. Here, we present a case report of a 31-year-old male with CCOC in the maxilla from the pathological and diagnostic point of view.
透明细胞牙源性癌（CCOC）是一种罕见且侵袭性强的肿瘤，女性多见，在下颌骨更为常见。2005年世界卫生组织将其归类为恶性肿瘤。这种肿瘤除了本质上具有高度侵袭性外，还具有局部复发和远处转移的特点。由于存在透明细胞，对病理学家来说是一个诊断挑战。文献中仅报道了约84例上颌骨变异型病例。在此，我们从病理和诊断角度报告一例31岁上颌骨透明细胞牙源性癌男性病例。
