[Clear cell tumor of the lung (sugar tumour). Study of a case].
A case of benign clear cell tumor ("sugar tumor") is reported. Light microscopy showed a proliferation of clear cells with a rich blood supply and endocrinoid pattern. Ultrastructurally, cells were loaded with glycogen both free and membrane-bound. The cellular origin of the benign clear cell tumor of the lung is still uncertain.
