A mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of a child with the reciprocal translocation (11;22)(q24;q12)

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1993 Dec;71(2):144-7. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(93)90020-m.

Abstract

The reciprocal translocation (11;22)(q24;q12) was observed in a seven day culture from a mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the bone, a tumor not characterized cytogenetically so far. We suggest that because of the presence of a similar cytogenetic abnormality, mesenchymal chondrosarcoma may belong to the wide group of "t(11;22)-small round cell tumors".
