## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone that regulates food intake and metabolic and endocrine functions. Serum leptin levels have been reported to be increased in patients with allergic rhinitis and nasal polyposis; however, the explanation for this is unclear. We ai

β¦ Synopsis
The etiology of nasal polyposis is not fully understood. We found numerical chromosome changes in one out of five cytogenetically investigated nasal polyps. The histological picture of this case was characterized by the presence of histiocyte-like cells, which were absent in the remaining cytogenetically normal polyps.

## Abstract Cytogenetic analysis of an endometrial polyp showed the presence of a t(6;20)(p21;q13) together with an ins(16;1)(q22;q32q42). Since a 6;20βtranslocation has been previously found in another endometrial polyp, we think that t(6;20)(p21;q13) may be a characteristic chromosomal change in
Background: DNA hypodiploidy is a unique and rare finding associated with aggressive behavior in solid tumors. Identifying the chromosomal changes underlying this feature may provide important information on the development and progression of these neoplasms. Methods: Fluorescence in situ hybridizat
## 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.
