Translocation (X;12)(q27;q14) in a lipoma.
Cytogenetic analysis by short-term culture of a lipoma from the posterior neck region of a 63-year-old man showed a t(X;12)(q27;q14) as the sole chromosomal abnormality. Rearrangement of band 12q14 is nonrandom in lipomas, although its involvement with a sex chromosome has not been reported earlier.
