Translocation (16;17)(q22;p13) is a recurrent anomaly of aneurysmal bone cysts.
Recently, Panoutsakopoulos et al. (1999) reported 2 cases of aneurysmal bone cysts with a recurrent (16;17)(q22;p13) translocation. We present here two additional cases harboring the same translocation as well as additional chromosomal changes.
