Diagnosis of tumors of the kidney depends principally on clinical evaluation and radiologic studies. The role of the pathologist is most important in the classification and characterization of the tumors. In addition, morphologic studies employing the use of electron microscopy may aid in the understanding of histogenesis and the recognition of tumor sub-types. Electron microscopic evaluation indicates specific cellular features characteristic of renal adenocarcinoma, nephroblastoma, and sarcomas. Ultrastructural examination can be particularly useful in distinguishing between sarcomas and sarcomatoid carcinomas and in identifying the origin of metastatic tumors. For these reasons, the use of electron microscopy for the evaluation of renal tumors is recommended in selected cases.
肾脏肿瘤的诊断主要依赖于临床评估和放射学检查。病理学家在肿瘤的分类和特征描述方面发挥着最为重要的作用。此外，运用电子显微镜的形态学研究可能有助于理解组织发生过程以及识别肿瘤亚型。电子显微镜评估可显示肾腺癌、肾母细胞瘤和肉瘤所特有的特定细胞特征。超微结构检查在区分肉瘤和肉瘤样癌以及确定转移性肿瘤的起源方面可能特别有用。基于这些原因，建议在某些特定病例中使用电子显微镜来评估肾脏肿瘤。
