A Clear-cell carcinoma is a carcinoma (i.e. not a sarcoma) showing clear cells.

"A rare type of tumor, usually of the female genital tract, in which the insides of the cells look clear when viewed under a microscope. Also called clear cell adenocarcinoma and mesonephroma."

Examples :

  • Clear cell renal cell carcinoma ~ clear cell kidney cancer
  • Uterine clear-cell carcinoma ~ clear cell endometrial cancer
  • Clear-cell ovarian carcinoma
