Abstract

Specific chromosome rearrangements in different types of solid tumors have been described recently in a number of studies. However, the frequency and diagnostic importance of these chromosome rearrangements are currently under intensive investigation. The objective of this study is to provide a preliminary report on the types of clonal chromosome abnormalities observed in sarcomas of bone and soft tissues. Included in this report are osteosarcoma (five), synovial sarcoma (three), Ewing sarcoma (two), leiomyosarcoma (one), and spindle cell sarcoma (one). Cytogenetic analysis revealed clonal chromosome rearrangements in all of the tumors studied. Our findings correlated well with previously reported cytogenetic data on various types of solid tumors.
