title: Second report of a translocation involving 19q13.4 in a mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver.
abstract: Cytogenetic study of a mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver detected a balanced translocation between chromosomes 11 and 19 in a 6-month-old male whose constitutional karyotype was normal. The chromosome 19 breakpoint, 19q13.4, appears to be identical to one of the breakpoints identified in the only other mesenchymal hamartoma studied with cytogenetic methods.
