## Abstract Cytogenetic studies of eight meningiomas in young children or adolescents were performed. Two tumors exhibited normal karyotypes. Two tumors from patients with bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis demonstrated monosomy 22 as the only abnormality. Four patients had more complicated karyo

We report the cytogenetic findings in two meningiomas from a child presenting with multiple meningiomas. In contrast to the chromosomal profile of adult meningiomas, both tumors studied revealed excess of chromosomes in addition to monosomy 22. This difference is remarkable considering several repor
Because clinical evidence suggests that Proteus syndrome may be caused by a somatic mutation during early development, resulting in mosaicism, the possible types of abnormalities and their clinical distributions are highly variable. Here, we report on an unusual patient with Proteus syndrome. Manife
