An endometrial stromal sarcoma with clonal cytogenetic abnormalities.
Cytogenetic analysis of a low-grade metastatic endometrial stromal sarcoma in a 58-year-old woman revealed translocations involving both homologues of chromosome 7 with chromosomes 13 and 17, respectively, and an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 11. The karyotype of the tumor was 46,XX,t(7;13)(q11.1;p13),t(7;17)(p21;q12),del(11)(q13q21).
