Cytogenetic findings on eight follicular thyroid adenomas including one with a t(10;19).
Eight follicular adenomas of the thyroid gland were cytogenetically investigated. Of these, only one showed a chromosomal abnormality, a translocation t(10;19)(q22;p13 or q13). The situation is compared with that of thyroid carcinomas and pleomorphic adenomas.
