title: Malignant melanoma of soft parts. Further cytogenetic characterization.
abstract: We report the cytogenetic findings in a case of malignant melanoma of soft parts. Overrepresentation of 1q together with a del(1)(q42), extra copies of chromosomes 7 and 8, and t(12;22)(q13;q13) were found. These findings allow further delineation of the chromosomal pattern found in this uncommon neoplasm.
