Abstract
As illustrated in this review, neoplasms of the male genital tract are markedly heterogenous, reflecting their complex embryologic derivation and histogenetic classification. Transmission electron microscopy has greatly increased our understanding of the structure of these tumors, and in doing so has greatly improved our light microscopy. Additionally, in a number of selected situations, TEM also provides important practical diagnostic information. Currently, light microscopy in conjunction with clinical information is the central tool of tumor taxonomy. However, TEM with histochemistry, immunohistology, analytic cytometry, and molecular biology provide practical and useful information in some situations. In all cases, the application of these techniques has greatly increased our overall understanding of tumor structure, pathobiology, and classification.
