AB  - Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), also called clear cell ''sugar'' 
      tumor of the lung, is a rare benign tumor arising from perivascular epithelioid 
      cells (PECs). We report a case of a 15-year-old boy who presented with right 
      lower lobe lesion which turned out to be a clear cell tumor of the lung. An 
      [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) - positron emission tomography (PET) scan 
      revealed mild FDG uptake in the lung lesion (SUV< 1) with no active uptake 
      elsewhere in the body. We discuss the clinical, radiologic and 
      immunohistochemical features of clear cell ''sugar'' tumor of lung and compare 
      them with published literature.
