Case presentation We present the case of a 59-year-old woman who underwent a mastectomy for a cm clinically palpable left breast carcinoma originally diagnosed as fibroadenoma on a screening mammogram four years before presentation. Diagnosis of clear cell carcinoma was based on certain histological characteristics of the tumour and immunohistochemical analysis PAS staining keratins AEI AE3 EMA cytokeratin 7 cytokeratin 20 melanosomes vimentin Chromogranin Synaptophysin S-100 SMA . No lymph node metastasis was found and as the tumour was ER positive and PgR negative patient was treated only with an aromatase inhibitor upfront and remains free of disease 48 months now since .
