Ultrastructure of an endometrial stromal nodule with skeletal muscle

Ultrastruct Pathol. 1993 May-Aug;17(3-4):405-10. doi: 10.3109/01913129309027783.

Abstract

The ultrastructural appearance of an endometrial stromal nodule with prominent smooth and skeletal muscle differentiation is described. This is the first reported case of endometrial stromal nodule with a heterologous skeletal muscle component and emphasizes the value of electron microscopy and its correlation with immunohistochemistry in the study of rare or complex lesions.
