      Although the ultrastructural features of many hepatocellular carcinomas may be distinctive from those of other tumors of epithelial origin, intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct neoplasms may be difficult to distinguish from adenocarcinomas originating in other sites. Pancreatic endocrine tumors are composed of cells containing characteristic neurosecretory granules, which are identified by electron microscopy, as are the characteristic zymogen granules in pancreatic acinar-cell tumors.
