Clear-cell carcinoma of the soft palate: a case with atypical presentation and long-term follow-up: a case report
This case report highlights the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation and long-term follow-up in management of a rare oral malignancy. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry are crucial in differentiating clear-cell carcinoma from other malignancies with overlapping features. Surgical excision remains the primary treatment modality, with a favorable prognosis if diagnosed and managed adequately.
