title: G-band analyses of a human intestinal leiomyosarcoma.
abstract: The chromosomes of a human intestinal leiomyosarcoma were studied by a direct method. The tumour had a hypodiploid stemline (S = 42) with both numerical and structural changes. These could be clarified using a G-banding method. The evolutionary pattern in the sarcoma was reminiscent of that found earlier in human meningiomas.
