Clear Cell Lesions of the Oral Cavity

"Clear Cell Lesions of the Oral Cavity" is a specialized book that focuses on clear cell changes in the oral cavity. It addresses both benign and malignant tumors arising from various cell types, including epithelial, mesenchymal, melanocytic, and hematopoietic. The authors, Swati K. Patil and Rajul Ranka, analyze the causes of clear cell occurrence, which can result from various factors such as artifact changes, inadequate cell preservation, and hydropic degeneration of organelles. The book highlights the pathological features of tumors with clear cell changes, which often present diagnostic challenges. It also discusses the biological behaviors of these tumors, which can range from indolent to aggressive. Correct classification of these tumors is crucial, as the presence of clear cells is often associated with increased tumor aggressiveness and malignancy.
