Aberrations of chromosome segment 12q13–15 characterize a subgroup of hemangiopericytomas

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In later years, several characteristic acquired chromosomal aberrations have been identified in mesenchymal tumors. Many of these aberrations, either alone or with histopathologic and clinical data, are useful in diagnosis. The cytogenetic profile of hemangiopericytomas has been poorly investigated. METHODS: Short-term cultures from four spindle cell tumors were cytogenetically analyzed. RESULTS:...
