Base of the tongue hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma: Case report and literature review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm arising in minor salivary glands. We present a rare case of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma in the base of the tongue. We report a case of a 38-year-old female presented with a progressive history of hemoptysis and dysphagia over the course of 4 years. Examination revealed a mass originating from the base of the tongue with a biopsy confirmed as hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma . An Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed literature review was conducted due to the rarity of this type of tumor. The patient underwent surgical excision with immediate reconstruction with radial forearm free flap followed with adjuvant radiotherapy and was disease free at her most recent follow-up (12 months). Our review included a total of 13 new cases, including our case. The majority of the cases presented with dysphagia. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment, and overall these patients have a good prognosis. Our case highlights a rare presentation of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue, successfully treated with surgical excision, free tissue reconstruction and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
