title: Clear cell carcinoma of the lung--a case report.
abstract: Clear cell carcinoma of the lung is a rare entity. We report the first case seen locally. The patient is symptomatic, presenting with a large pulmonary tumour. Histologically, there were clusters of large tumour cells with ample clear cytoplasm and absence of mucin, glandular and squamous differentiation. Urine analysis, blood carcinoembryonic antigen level and abdominal CT scan were normal.
