Abstract

Five tenosynovial giant cell tumors—4 pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and 1 nodular tenosynovitis (NTS)—were investigated cytogenetically. Clonal chromosome aberrations were detected in 3 of them. One PVNS had t(7;16)(q22;q24) as the sole anomaly, whereas 1 PVNS and the NTS displayed aberrations suggesting clonal evolution: t(1;19)(p11;p12)/t(1;19), + 12 and ins(5;1)(q31;p13p34)/ins(5;1),t(2;4)(p23;q21), respectively. Including our 3 cases, a total of 6 tenosynovial giant cell tumors with karyotypic changes have been reported. Apart from 2 PVNS with trisomies 5 and 7, and 2 NTS with rearrangement of chromosome band 1p13, no recurrent chromosome change has been detected. Although the detection of clonal, acquired chromosome abnormalities has formerly generally been accepted as sufficient to conclude that a lesion is neoplastic, the interpretation of the pathogenetic significance of the karyotypic aberrations in synovial tumors is obscured by the fact that we have also detected comparable aberrations in obviously nonneoplastic synovial tissue. One of 2 lesions from patients with hemorrhagic synovitis carried a clonal del(13)(q12q21), and 2 of 4 synovectomy samples from patients with rheumatoid arthritis displayed –Y and –Y together with +7. The available cytogenetic data therefore cannot be used to resolve the controversy as to whether tenosynovial giant cell tumors are truly neoplastic or only reactive, inflammatory proliferations. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Cytogenetic analysis of primary cell cultures and/or passages 1-3 of synovial tissue from seven patients with rheumatoid arthritis was performed.

## Abstract Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are benign lesions of the tendon sheaths that primarily affect the fingers, ankles, or feet. Cytogenetic data have shown that 1p13 is most frequently involved in structural aberrations and that 2q37 is its most common translocation partner. The gen

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor is a relatively common benign proliferation affecting the articular and periarticular soft tissues. Cytologic findings on smears obtained by fine-needle aspiration are rather characteristic and include a mixture of oval or polygonal mononuclear cells showing vacuolation

Supernumerary ring or giant rod marker chromosomes are a characteristic of well-differentiated liposarcomas (WDLPS) and atypical lipomas (ALP) and are often observed as the sole cytogenetic abnormality, but are rare in lipomas. Using a combination of different methods, we extensively investigated th

By means of G-banding techniques, chromosome aberrations were studied in short-term cultures of normal renal parenchymal cells from 45 patients with renal cell carcinoma. Clonal chromosomal aberrations were detected in 29 patients; loss of the Y chromosome as well as trisorny X, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, and
