Contribution of Electron Microscopy to Understanding Cellular Differentiation in Mesenchymal Tumors of the Gastrointestinal Tract: A Study of 82 Tumors
Abstract
Eighty-two mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract were examined by electron microscopy for the purposes of subtyping for diagnostic precision and of understanding cellular differentiation. Tumors were subclassified into leiomyoma/leiomyosarcoma, tumors of the interstitial cell of Cajal (equivalent to traditionally defined GISTs [Miettinen et al. Hum Pathol. 1999; 30:1213-1220; Mod Pathol. 2000; 13:1134-1142]), gastrointestinal …
