Primary cytogenetic abnormality detected in an endometrial adenocarcinoma

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1986 Feb 1;20(1-2):149-57. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(86)90118-4.

Abstract

Cytogenetic findings obtained from an endometrial adenocarcinoma stage 1A are reported. The primary stem line was pseudodiploid with an abnormal chromosome #8. Three side lines were noted, which collectively involved chromosomes X, #8, #12, and two members of group D. A small percentage of cells was either pseudotetraploid or near-tetraploid. Double minutes were noted in one of the latter cells. Interest in the case is centered on the finding of what appeared to be the primary chromosomal change.
