摘要: The distinction between oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, important clinically, may be challenging, especially as the tissue sample size decreases. Ancillary studies can helpful, although subject to interpretation variability. aim of this study was examine value electron microscopy in differentiating carcinoma on formalin fixed paraffin embedded needle core biopsies. Twenty biopsies were evaluated. Despite fixation embedding, classic ultrastructural features these neoplasms retained, revealing 80% sensitivity 100% specificity by initial work-up.
