Abstract:
Clear cell basal cell carcinoma (clear cell BCC) is a rare variant of BCC, which is characterized by variable proliferation of clear cells within the mass. We herein report three cases of clear cell BCC. Three old Korean men presented lesions as a solitary nodule on their face. Histologic examination showed multiple dermal tumor lobules composed of basophilic cells, clear cells and peripheral palisading with surrounding retraction spaces. The clear cells showed either a clear cytoplasm or eosinophilic granular cytoplasm, and contained glycogen. There were no recurrences after surgical excision.
