Translocation (3;8;8)(p22 or p23;p23;q12) in a case of pleomorphic adenoma: similarity to a primary cytogenetic abnormality detected in an endometrial adenocarcinoma.
Cytogenetic findings on the recurrence of a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland are herein reported. The tumor showed an abnormal chromosome #8, which was very similar to a marker chromosome recently described as the sole abnormality in an endometrial adenocarcinoma.
