Abstract
Salivary gland neoplasia is a challenging area of diagnostic surgical pathology due to significant histomorphologic overlap between benign and malignant entities with the resultant risk of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Clear cell carcinoma is a rare infiltrative, low grade salivary gland neoplasm with an indolent clinical course, little metastatic potential and a propensity for local recurrence. This case reports a 32-year-old woman who presented with a 1-year history of a mass on her hard palate. The clinical history, histomorphologic, immunophenotypic and molecular features are described and discussed with emphasis on diagnostic pitfalls.
