Cytogenetic studies of bone marrow specimens from 15 patients with dysmyelopoietic syndrome are presented. The group consists of nine patients with refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB), three patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMoL), and three patients with acquired idiopathic

✦ Synopsis
Thirty-three osteosarcomas ( 0 s ) were analyzed cytogenetically. Clonal chromosome changes were detected in 17 cases. Six tumors had chromosome numbers in the diploid range, 6 in the triploid range, I in the tetraploid range and I in the pentaploid range, while 3 tumors had multiple clones with different ploidy levels. Including the present 17 tumors, a total of 27 0 s with clonal aberrations have been reported. The recognizable structural rearrangements in these 27 tumors clustered to chromosome arms I p, I q, 3p. 3q, 7q, I I p, I7p and 22q. Chromosome bands I q I I, I q2 I, I q42 and 7q I I were the most frequently rearranged, and the most common numerical rearrangements were -3, -10, -13 and -15. Supernumerary ring chromosomes, in 2 tumors as the sole change, were found in all 3 parosteal OS, which is in agreement with the findings in I previously reported parosteal 0s. The association between ring formation and parosteal morphology represents the first cytogenetic-mo hologic entity among 0s.
