title: Cytogenetic findings in a case of epithelioid sarcoma and a review of the literature.
abstract: Cytogenetic studies of epithelioid sarcoma, a rare malignant soft tissue neoplasm of adolescents and young adults, are few. A characteristic anomaly has not yet been identified for this sarcoma. In this study, cytogenetic studies of a primary epithelioid sarcoma of a 15-year-old male revealed the following abnormalities: t(6;8)(p25;q11.2) and add(7)(p15).
