•Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the lower urinary tract is rare and poses diagnostic challenge.•GATA3, which is frequently expressed in urothelial carcinoma, can be expressed in clear cell adenocarcinoma.•ARID1A, PBRM1, ERBB4, and SMARCA4 mutations were identified in the current CASE.•Molecular studies may aid in the diagnosis, and optimal treatment decision-making process.
•下尿路透明细胞腺癌罕见,诊断颇具挑战。
•GATA3在尿路上皮癌中常表达,也可在透明细胞腺癌中表达。
•本病例中鉴定出ARID1A、PBRM1、ERBB4和SMARCA4突变。
•分子研究可能有助于诊断及优化治疗决策过程。
