title: The genetics of lipomatous tumors.
abstract: The current classification of lipomatous neoplasms has been validated by the identification of characteristic cytogenetic and molecular genetic profiles associated with various neoplasms within the family of lipomatous tumors. The review describes characteristic cytogenetic and molecular genetic profiles and discusses their significance. The clinicopathologic features of these tumors, which are described elsewhere, will not be included in this review.
