Granular cell myoblastoma of the orbit. Report of a case. 1976

G Morgan

A light and electron microscopical study of a case of granular cell myoblastoma of the orbit is described. Its possible histogenesis is discussed and, from the study of this case and of the literature, it is believed that the most likely histogenesis is from a primitive mesenchymal cell resembling a fibroblast.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy
