title: Chromosomal hyperdiploidy in a feline sarcoma.
abstract: An eight-year-old male cat developed a sarcoma. The cytogenetic evaluation of the tumour cells showed the presence of hyperdiploidy (range 40 to 46 chromosomes). This hyperdiploidy was encountered in all the cells examined. Extra-chromosomes numbers C1, C2, B4, D4 and E3 were mainly responsible for the hyperdiploid chromosomal complements. There was a high incidence of monosomy E3.
