AB  - BACKGROUND: Hyalinizing clear cell adenocarcinoma (HCCA) is a rare salivary gland 
      malignancy. To our knowledge, there are no published reports of primary clear 
      cell carcinoma of the vallecula. METHODS: A 59-year-old man with progressive 
      dysphagia and otalgia underwent direct laryngoscopy with biopsy of a vallecular 
      mass. The pathology results returned as clear cell adenocarcinoma. He underwent a 
      wide local excision for his T(2)N(0)M(0) stage II tumor. RESULTS: Clear cell 
      adenocarcinoma of the oropharynx typically presents as a painless neck mass and 
      it can be difficult to distinguish from other clear cell malignancies. 
      CONCLUSION: Immunohistochemical staining is essential for narrowing the 
      differential diagnosis of these lesions. Treatment is controversial but usually 
      consists of wide local excision and possibly a neck dissection.
