5q- anomaly in a patient with disseminated teratoma.
A 5q- anomaly associated with other chromosome anomalies was found in the infiltrated bone marrow of a patient with a highly malignant teratoma originally located in the mediastinum. There was no evidence of a second malignancy, and it is likely that the 5q- anomaly was, indeed, associated with the malignant teratoma cells.
