| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Clear cell [[tumor]]s''' are part of the [[surface epithelial-stromal tumor]] group of [[Ovarian cancer]]s, accounting for 6% of all neoplastic cases. Clear cell tumors are also associated with the pancreas and salivary glands.
| |
| | |
| [[Benign]] and borderline variants of this neoplasm are rare, and most cases are [[malignant]].
| |
| Typically, they are cystic neoplasms with polypoid masses that protrude into the cyst.
| |
| | |
| On [[microscope|microscopic]] [[pathology|pathological]] examination, they are composed of cells with clear [[cytoplasm]] (that contains [[glycogen]]) and ''hob nail'' cells (from which the glycogen has been secreted).
| |
| | |
| The pattern may be glandular, papillary or solid.
