title: Transitional cell carcinoma exhibiting clear cell features. A differential diagnosis for clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urinary tract.
abstract: We report two cases of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract that consist of optically clear cells rich in glycogen. We propose that transitional cell carcinoma may exhibit a clear cell morphologic variant that should be distinguished from clear cell adenocarcinoma.
