Cytogenetic findings in leiomyosarcoma of the small bowel.
A cytogenetic study of a leiomyosarcoma of the small bowel revealed numerical and structural chromosome changes. Several of these changes, in particular the loss of one chromosome #14, #15, #18, and #22, and del(1)(p12p13) have been reported previously in an unrelated leiomyosarcoma of the small bowel. We suggest that these or part of these findings could be characteristic of leiomyosarcoma of the small bowel.
