Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the renal capsule. Light and electron microscopic study of a rare tumor. 1978

R Y Osamura, and K Watanabe, and K Yoneyama, and T Hayashi

This light microscopically pleomorphic tumor, which occurred in the renal capsule of 35-year-old female was diagnosed as a malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Ultrastructurally, the tumor showed two major components; fibroblast-like and histiocyte-like cells. This report stresses the rarity of such neoplasm in the kidney and also the usefulness of electron microscopy in establishing the diagnosis.

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

D018219 Histiocytoma, Benign Fibrous A benign tumor composed, wholly or in part, of cells with the morphologic characteristics of HISTIOCYTES and with various fibroblastic components. Fibrous histiocytomas can occur anywhere in the body. When they occur in the skin, they are called dermatofibromas or sclerosing hemangiomas.
