title: Observation of a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6 in benign fibrocystic disease of the breast constitutes a challenging problem.
abstract: We observed an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6 occurring as the sole anomaly in a benign fibrocystic disease of the breast, confirming its nonrandom occurrence in this type of condition, and we discuss the possible meaning of this observation.
