Ultrastructure and histogenesis of the renal tumors of childhood: an overview.
This review discusses the ultrastructural and immunohistochemical features of the common childhood renal tumors, with an emphasis on their diagnostic usefulness. Speculations regarding their histogenesis also are presented, with the hope that these may serve to diminish some of the confusion surrounding the classification of these morphologically diverse lesions.
