Abstract excerpt
We present a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma with t(3;12)(q24;p13) and polysomy X by cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques. Flow cytometric DNA analysis of the primary tumor showed DNA aneuploidy and analysis of cultured tumor cells showed DNA diploidy indicating r...
