Let G be a finite group. A nontrivial subgroup M of G is called a CC-subgroup if M contains the centralizer in G of each of its nonidentity elements. The purpose of this paper is to classify groups with a CC-subgroup of order divisible by 3. Simple groups satisfying that condition are completely determined.
