What is clear cell sarcoma?

Also known as: CCS, soft tissue sarcoma

Clear cell sarcoma is a form of cancer that develops in the soft tissues of the body. The most common areas are in the legs, feet, arms or hands, though it can also be found in the stomach, intestines and elsewhere in the body. It gets its name due to the fact that the tumor cells appear clear when they are examined under a microscope
