Case of meningioma with del(1)(p32) as sole anomaly.
We studied a case of typical syncytial meningioma. Cytogenetic analysis of the tumor cells showed a karyotype with normal chromosomes 22 and only one anomaly, del(1)(p32). Cases of meningiomas with normal chromosomes 22 and other anomalies are rare, and it is difficult to correlate their histologic characteristics and biologic behavior.
