Abstract:
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is noted for its many histologic variants because of its pluripotential origin from epithelial germ cells. Clear cell BCC has been recognized as a distinct variant and has a clear cell component made up of cells which are either vacuolated or display a finely granular eosinophilic cytoplasm. We report a case of clear cell BCC in a 62-year-old man who had a well-demarcated, skin-colored nodule on the left nasal ala. It was treated by surgical excision with a Burow's graft and no recurrence has been observed.
