✦ Synopsis

The identification of specific chromosome translocations in various sarcomas and the elucidation of their molecular consequences has raised the possibility of detecting their presence for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in a manner analogous to the haematological malignancies. However, it is important to correlate particular translocations, and also other genetic aberrations, with current histological diagnoses and the behaviour of tumours, in order to assess the potential benefits, if any, of identifying rearrangements. Recent developments which enable specific translocations to be identified in archival material are likely to play an increasing role in the assessment and, eventually, the management of patients with sarcomas. 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Deletion of the short arm of chromosome 9 (9p), resulting in the loss of the p16 INK4a /MTS1 gene, now called CDKN2, has been found to occur frequently in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, even in the absence of a microscopically visible deletion. In this study, we have used YAC probes encompassing the

Background. Synovial sarcoma, a rare tumor in the head and neck, has been historically diagnosed by its characteristic biphasic histologic pattern. Monophasic variants exist which can be difficult to diagnose. Methods. Two cases of synovial sarcoma of the head and neck are presented. In both cases,
