Abstract:
A reciprocal translocation, t(8;12)(q13;q15), was found to be the sole karyotypic change in a deep-seated lipogenic tumour in a 3-year-old child. Judging from recent data on the cytogenetic characterization of adipose tumours, this finding seems to support the histopathologic diagnosis of lipoma in spite of foci of atypical cells observed at the histologic examination.
