Renal epithelial neoplasms: the diagnostic implications of electron microscopic study in 55 cases
B Krishnan, LD Truong - Human pathology, 2002 - Elsevier
Several unsettled histogenetic, nosologic and diagnostic considerations for renal epithelial
tumors may have ultrastructural ramifications. Yet, a comprehensive electron microscopic
study of renal epithelial neoplasms, in light of the recent classification, is not available. The
ultrastructural findings from fifty-five renal epithelial neoplasms [31 clear cell renal cell
carcinomas (RCC), 11 papillary RCC, 5 chromophobe RCC, 3 sarcomatoid RCC and 5
oncocytomas] were correlated with their light microscopic appearance. Clear cell RCC …
