Benign clear cell tumor of lung with necrosis.
A case of benign clear cell tumor ("sugar tumor") of the lund with extensive necrosis is reported. Electron microscopic study established the diagnosis by virtue of the characteristic cytoplasmic membrane-bound glycogen. Ultrastructural study may be necessary in cases containing necrosis to differentiate this lesion decisively from metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
