Abstract excerpt
Primary leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of bone is an exceedingly rare entity on which to date no molecular data have been reported. In a series of 6 tumors (5 grade IIB, 1 grade IIA), we assessed the prevailing genetic stability by microsatellite analysis at 7 loci. The IIB tumors demonstrated a rate of genomic loss as high as 90%, accompanied by an intratumoral heterogeneity in 30% of conspicuous markers. High...
