title: A novel reciprocal (10;17)(p11.2;q23) in myxoid fibrosarcoma.
abstract: Recurring reciprocal translocations have been identified as the primary chromosome aberrations in a number of neoplasms. These aberrations are often closely associated with particular morphologic or phenotypic subtypes of tumors and in some cases have prognostic implications. We have identified a novel reciprocal t(10;17)(p11.2;q23) in a case of low-grade myxoid fibrosarcoma, which may prove to be a new tumor specific chromosome aberration.
