title: Cytogenetic study of malignant histiocytosis transplanted into nude mice; presence of translocation between chromosomes 5 and 6 and a unique marker (13q+).
abstract: Fluid from a pleural effusion in a child with malignant histiocytosis was grafted into nude mice. Cytogenetic studies were performed on the xenografted cells which revealed a diploid karyotype with a translocation t (5;6) and a marker (13q+). This study reports a new rearrangement which has not been described previously in malignant histiocytosis.
