title: Primary cytogenetic abnormality detected in an endometrial adenocarcinoma.
abstract: Cytogenetic findings obtained from an endometrial adenocarcinoma stage 1A are reported. The primary stem line was pseudodiploid with an abnormal chromosome #8. Three side lines were noted, which collectively involved chromosomes X, #8, #12, and two members of group D. A small percentage of cells was either pseudotetraploid or near-tetraploid. Double minutes were noted in one of the latter cells. Interest in the case is centered on the finding of what appeared to be the primary chromosomal change.
