The clear-cell variant of oral squamous cell carcinoma is an extremely rare histological variant and an incompletely understood entity. Clear cell appearance in squamous cell carcinoma may be attributed to hydropic degeneration of neoplastic cells. We report a case of a 32-year-old male patient who presented with an ulceroproliferative growth in the left maxillary posterior region on the hard palate and gingiva, obliterating the buccal vestibule.

Objective: Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare malignancy of the jaw, presenting significant diagnostic challenges. This report aims to highlight the complexities associated with biopsy-based diagnoses of oral and maxillofacial lesions, as demonstrated in a case of intraosseous mandibular CCOC initially suggestive of Ewing's sarcoma due to its presentation with small round blue cells.
Results: The patient, a 37-year-old male, presented with a mandibular lesion that on incisional biopsy was suggestive of Ewing's sarcoma.

Background: Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is an odontogenic carcinoma characterized by sheets and islands of vacuolated and clear cells. The diagnosis of atypical CCOC can pose a challenge when tumor cells deviate from their characteristic clear morphology, even with the aid of genetic profiling for CCOC identification.
Case Presentation: In this manuscript, we detailed the inaugural instance of a recurrently recurring clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) with pronounced squamous differentiation in a 64-year-old male.
