Excerpt

To the Editor, Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MC) of the salivary glands is a malignant epithelial tumor that is composed of varying proportions of mucus, epidermoid, intermediate, columnar, and clear cells [2]. It is classified into low-, intermediate-, and high-grade types on the basis of morphologic and cytologic features [2, 6]. Although mucous, intermediate, and epidermoid cells are predominant in most MCs, it is well known that clear cells very infrequently predominate over other cell types [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Such cases are called clear cell variant of MC [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The authors here report a rare case of MC of the palate composed exclusively of clear cells. …
