Spindle cell carcinoma of the glans penis: a light and electron microscopic study. 1980

K S Manglani, and J R Manaligod, and B Ray

Spindle cell carcinoma of the penis has been documented by light microscopy only once in the past. This case report illustrates the light and electron microscopy of a second case. Contrary to previously expressed opinions, polypoid spindle cell carcinomas are not necessarily associated with a good prognosis.

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
