title: A simple bone cyst of the distal humerus with a t(7;12)(q21;q24.3) in a patient with hypophosphatemic rickets.
abstract: Few studies describe karyotypic abnormalities in simple bone cysts. We report the results of cytogenetic analysis of a case of simple bone cyst of the distal humerus in a patient with hypophosphatemic rickets with a t(7;12)(q21;q24.3) as the sole abnormality. To our knowledge, this is the third report of a cytogenetically characterized tumor of this type.
