We present 2 cases of hibernoma, a rare lipomatous tumor arising from brown fat tissue. In each case, a hyperechoic mass in comparison to surrounding musculature combined with elevated vascularization was highly suggestive of a liposarcoma. As a rule, malignancy cannot be excluded safely by imaging

Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis of a rare adipose tissue tumor, hibernoma, a benign proliferation of the brown fat, is presented for the first time. A complex translocation involving bands 1p36, 2q33, 5q22, and 11q13 was found as the sole chromosome abnormality.

There are few cytogenetic studies of early (non-invasive) bladder cancer, particularly in sifu carcinoma, due to technical difficulties in examining such lesions. The best approach is to extrapolate from chromosomal changes in more advanced cancers. Although no specific chromosomal changes have been
The recent report by Olson et a1 [1983] on the use of chromosome analysis in cases of disputed paternity is of scientific and intellectual interest. The set of genetic systems utilized at the Paternity Testing Laboratory, Oregon Health Sciences University, is laudable in that it includes a rational,
