Clear cell Odontogenic Carcinoma Mandible Mimicking oral Cavity Squamous cell Carcinoma: An Intriguing case with Review of Literature

Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) is a rare odontogenic neoplasm with high risk of recurrence and aggressive behaviour. Presence of clear cells in head and neck is hallmark, but not pathognomic for the entity. Deceptive behaviour admist wide range of differentials, poses an immense diagnostic challenge. An incisional biopsy with appropriate immunohistochemistry is prudent for diagnosis. We herein report atypical case of CCOC mimicking squamous cell carcinoma, in a tertiary cancer center in North Eastern part of India.
