[Chromosome changes in ascitic effusions of neoplastic origin]
Abstract:
A chromosome study carried out on neoplastic cells from peritoneal effusion in 19 patients is presented. Clonal and sporadic chromosomal anomalies such as aneuploidy, pseudodiploidy, markers and minutes, were observed in all the cases examined. Chromosome analysis, compared with histological study, proved more useful in the diagnosis in two cases.
