Unique karyotypic abnormalities in a squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.
We have cytogenetically examined short-term cultures from a squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx, a type of carcinoma in which chromosome aberrations have hitherto not been reported. The tumor karyotype was 46,XY,inv(2)(p22q24),t(9;13)(q34;q12),t(11;18)(q23;q21). None of these abnormalities have been described in carcinomas before.
