Clear Cell Variant
When clear cells are present with clear cytoplasms, then this variant is referred to as "Clear Cell Variant" or CCEOT. The incidence of the clear cell variant is rare: according to this paper written in 1994, there were only 9 known cases reported in the literature. However, this indicates that approximately 8% of CEOTs contain clear cells. And Philipsen et al. indicate that 15 cases of CCEOT have been reported so far (circa 2000).

“Of a green evening, clear and warm,
She bathed in her still garden, while
The red-eyed elders watching, felt
The basses of their beings throb
In witching chords, and their thin blood
Pulse pizzicati of Hosanna.”
