Deletion of part of the short arm of chromosome 17 in a congenital fibrosarcoma.
Cytogenetic reports of soft tissue sarcomas in children, other than rhabdomyosarcomas, are rare. We report the second cytogenetic analysis of a congenital fibrosarcoma. The tumor had a monoclonal karyotype of 49.XX,+7,+15,+del(17)(p12).
