β¦ Synopsis
The cytogenetic findings by G-banding in two histiocytic lymphomas are described. Both tumors had a stemline with a 14q+ marker. The origin of the extra segment on No. 14 was determined, and it was different in the two cases. These observations, and those from non-Burkitt lymphomas with 14q+ markers reported in the literature, indicate an inconsistent pattern for the origin of the extra material on No. 14. The only feature in common for all cases is instability of the distal region of the long arm of No. 14, and liability of this region to be involved in structural rearrangements, particularly translocations.

Chromosomal translocations are found to be a characteristic feature of Burkitt lymphomas. Similar translocations are found in mouse plasmacytomas and both diseases involve interchanges between one of the immunoglobulin loci and DNA in the vicinity of the myc gene. The structure of the myc gene has b
Biopsies of malignant lymphomas collected from all districts of Uganda, filed in the Kampala Cancer Registry for the 8-year period 1966-1973, were reviewed.

## BACKGROUND. Diagnosing lymphoproliferative disorders on fine-needle aspiration (FNA) can be challenging due to variable cellularity and lack of architecture. Ancillary studies often are required for diagnosis. Follicular lymphoma (FL) is characterized by a monoclonal B-cell proliferation with
The t(14;18)(q21;q34) BCL2 translocation is a common genetic alteration in follicular and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. However, it is not invariably associated with BCL2 gene overexpression due to undefined mechanisms that regulate expression from the proximal immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) prom
