CLEAR CELL ODONTOGENIC CARCINOMA OF THE MANDIBLE WITH PERINEURAL INVASION: A REVIEW
Abstract
Objectives: Clear
cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare aggressive cancer of the oral
cavity. Diagnosis is mainly by excluding other pathologic lesions containing
clear cells. Perineural invasion may be an important feature in this lesion.
Methods:
We performed a literature review. We paid attention to the CCOC and perineural
invasion in the search of English language literatures in the Pubmed.
Results:
Analysis of previously reported cases of CCOC showed that up to2014 there were
74 reported CCOC cases in English articles, cited in PubMed. There was only one
previous report of perineural invasion. Anew case is also presented in this
article.
Conclusion:
Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma needs a special immunohistochemical protocol
and complete workup to reach a correct diagnosis. Perineural invasion should be
considered in central lesions of the mandible.
