Clear cell tumors of the lung are extremely rare neoplasms, and only a limited number of cases have been reported in literature to date. It is an atypical and mostly benign peripheral primary lung tumor belonging to the family of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors, and is referred to also as a “sugar tumor” since it consists of clear cells containing intracytoplasmic glycogen. The case presented here was diagnosed with a clear cell sugar tumor of the lung during the pandemic, but died due to COVID-19 pneumonia before surgery.
