      This review demonstrates the wide variety of neoplasms that may involve the male genital tract. In selected tumor situations, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has provided important diagnostic information. In all cases, TEM has provided important insights into histogenesis, structure, and pathobiology of these diverse neoplasms.
