    Author: Martínez González MA, Arguelles Pinto M, de Agustín de Agustín P, Vargas Castrillón J, Pérez Barrios A.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1995; 39(4):713-20. PubMed ID: 7631545.
    Abstract:
    We studied 156 fine needle aspiration biopsies of tumors from various locations with electron microscopy and, after processing, obtained evaluable material in 99 (63%) cases. Ultrastructural study elicited highly significant or essential findings in 39 patients (39% of the evaluable samples). In the cases requiring urgent treatment we were able to obtain an ultrastructural diagnosis in seven hours.
