      A variable number of soft-tissue tumors, depending largely on the experience of the pathologist, cannot be precisely classified by light microscopy, and electron microscopy and/or immunocytochemistry may be required. The applications and limitations of these techniques in the diagnosis of selected soft-tissue tumors are briefly reviewed.
