Chromosome analysis of tumour cells in the bone marrow of a 13.5-year-old girl (without a primary tumour) revealed a pseudo-diploid or pseudo-tetraploid karyotype with a translocation involving the long arms of chromosomes 2 and 13: t(2;13)(q37;q14). This finding enabled the diagnosis of a dissemina

## Abstract Cytogenetic studies of a rhabdomyosarcoma of mixed embryonal and alveolar histology in an II βmonthβold male revealed a single structural abnormality, t(1;13)(p36;q14). This abnormality may define a subset of patients with a variant of the t(2;13)(q35;q14) translocation frequently seen
A case of partial monosomy of the 13p terminal to 13q12, associated with a de novo 13/18 translocation, is reported. The symptoms appeared to be derived from both 18q- and partial monosomy 13, the latter giving rise to: high arched palate, epicanthus, antimongolian slant, small eye fissure, flat nas
The identification of t(2;13)(q35;q14) is a useful aid in the accurate diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma, distinguishing it from other small round cell tumours and supporting the distinction between alveolar and embryonal forms. Cytogenetic analysis is difficult and with the increased use of minimally i
