Abstract excerpt
Using banding techniques the chromosomes were studied in 15 leiomyomas. The material comprised nine uterine myomas from one patient, one parametrial leiomyoma from a second patient and five tumors from a third patient with disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis. The results were considered together with pooled data from the literature. From this it could be concluded that: (1) each leiomyoma was the product of a...
