Biphasic Variant of Clear Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma - A Case Report
Journal Title: Interventions in Pediatric Dentistry Open Access Journal - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare neoplasm of the jaw. This report outlines the clinical, histopathological and immuno-histochemical findings of CCOC and describes management strategy according to experience of authors and review of literature. We present a case of CCOC in a 70 years old female at posterior region of mandible. Microscopically, this tumor consisted of nests of cells with eosinophillic cytoplasm, small oval nuclei and a few clear cell areas. Treatment comprised of wide local excision and modified radical neck dissection with no recurrence. Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare intraosseous carcinoma of the jaw described in 1985 for the first time by Hansen [1]. In 1992, WHO classified CCOC as benign odontogenic tumor however, in the WHO classification of 2005 it was considered to be a malignant tumor of odontogenic origin due to its aggressive nature, predilection to local recurrence, loco-regional lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis [2]. Only 82 cases have been reported until now excluding the present case [3]. In this study, we report an additional rare case of CCOC extending from the left premolar area to the left ascending ramus of mandible and discuss the previous literatures.
