title: Chromosomal aberrations in follicular thyroid carcinoma. Case report of a primary tumor and its metastasis.
abstract: We present the result of a cytogenetic study of a case of follicular carcinoma of the thyroid and its metastasis. Both tumors have a low number of chromosomes. The primary tumor is characterized by a idic(22;22)(p11;p11). The skeletal metastasis has also structural abnormalities of chromosome 22.
