title: t(6;12)(q23;q13) and t(10;16)(q22;p11) in a phyllodes tumor of breast.
abstract: Cytogenetic analysis of short-term cultures from a phyllodes tumor showed clonal chromosome changes including t(6;12)(q23;q13) and t(10;16)(q22;p11). This is the first reported karyotype in this tumor type. We discuss the breakpoints of these translocations in relation to the involvement of possible candidate genes.
