Abstract
Diagnostic electron microscopy (EM) is used in surgical pathology as a supplementary procedure to light microscopy (LM) in the classification of certain tumors. In this context EM can be of decisive importance to the correct clinical approach, be it the choice of operative procedure or the application of the appropriate chemotherapeutic regimen.
