[Rectal cancer (a differential electron microscopic diagnosis)]. 1982

E A Smirnova, and A I Pavlovskaia

A tumor of the rectum in a woman of 74 is described. The analysis of the tumor in light microscope suggested a low-differentiated cancer or melanoma. Electron microscopic examination of the tumor metastasis into a lymph node showed most of the tumor cells to have low differentiation and contain no ultrastructural organspecific markers. However, in the tumor cells comprising a small group, typical tonofibrils and desmosomes were found which substantiated the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008207 Lymphatic Metastasis Transfer of a neoplasm from its primary site to lymph nodes or to distant parts of the body by way of the lymphatic system. Lymph Node Metastasis,Lymph Node Metastases,Lymphatic Metastases,Metastasis, Lymph Node
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
