Abstract
Histological analysis and electron microscopy of 12 benign pheochromocytomas and 9 malignant pheochromoblastomas showed that there are no reliable histological differences between cells of benign and malignant tumor of the adrenal medulla. The ratio of ultrastructurally differentiated and undifferentiated cells in the tumor can reflect their maturity; the more ultrastructurally undifferentiated and less differentiated cells in the tumor, the higher is the malignant potential of this tumor.Entities:
