title: Cytogenetic and experimental models.
abstract: The sarcomas, particularly those of soft tissue origin, often contain characteristic immunohistochemical and cytogenetic features that are of diagnostic relevance. Over the past year, novel findings have been reported that are likely to improve present sarcoma diagnostic capabilities. Findings of particular interest have been reported for Ewing's sarcoma, peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, and clear cell sarcoma.
