ABSTRACT
Clear cell carcinoma is an extremely rare low-grade malignancies occurring in less than 1% of salivary gland tumors. We report a case of clear cell carcinoma of the hard palate in a 15-year-old adolescent patient. She first noticed a palatal tumor at age 9, but the tumor was left untreated for 6 years. We performed incisional biopsy, but no definitive diagnosis was obtained. Excisional biopsy was then performed, and the histopathological diagnosis was clear cell carcinoma of the salivary gland. However, the tumor was exposed at the margin of the surgical specimen; thus, additional excision was performed. Five years after the treatment, no local recurrence or metastasis has been observed.
