The three dimensional architecture of the connective tissue framework of normal human kidney and three renal cell carcinomas was studied. A sodium hydroxide maceration technique was used to remove the cellular elements thus exposing the underlying connective tissue structures. The collagen fibrillar network was visualized using the scanning electron microscope. In normal kidney the fibres were fine, and smooth, and corresponded to the shapes of the original parenchymal constituents. The fibres of the kidney tumours were coarse in nature and irregularly distributed. The technique provides a rapid method for studying connective tissue fibres in normal and diseased tissue. The three dimensional architecture thus exposed enhances our knowledge of tumour stroma.
