Abstract
Rare musculoskeletal tumors can be difficult to diagnose by light microscopy or immunohistochemistry. Electron microscopy can be of diagnostic assistance especially if histotype specific ultrastructural features exist. In particular, electron microscopy for uncommon sarcomas such as alveolar soft part sarcoma, parachordoma, atypical Ewing's sarcoma and epithelioid sarcoma may be the diagnostic modality of choice.Keywords
