Core Tip	Pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PMEC) is an uncommon malignancy originating from the minor salivary glands of the tracheobronchial tree. Its clear cell variant, even rarer, presents distinctive diagnostic challenges due to its morphological similarity to other clear cell tumors. This report describes the case of a 22-year-old male diagnosed with the clear cell variant of PMEC characterized by the CRTC3-MAML2 gene fusion. The patient successfully underwent a left lower lobe sleeve resection without the need for adjuvant therapy. At the one-and-a-half-year postoperative follow-up assessment, he exhibited no signs of recurrence.
