title: The role of ultrastructural pathology in the diagnosis of epithelial and unusual renal tumors.
abstract: The electron microscopic and immunohistochemical features of epithelial and unusual renal tumors are reviewed. Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical features of diagnostic value are highlighted. An attempt is made to address histogenesis/differentiation issues that would help in understanding morphologic findings, with an emphasis placed on the role that ultrastructural evaluation has played in demonstrating these.
