  Clear cell hepatocellular carcinoma (CCHCC) is a rare variant of classical hepatocellular carcinoma (CHCC). Most of these cases pose a histological diagnostic dilemma with broad range of differentials of tumor with clear cell morphology. Use of immunostains or presence of classical hepatocellular carcinoma morphology focally aids in accurate diagnosis of these lesions. We report a case of a 62-year-old male who presented with loss of appetite and altered bowel habits for last 3 months.
