## Abstract Lipomas are frequently characterized by rearrangements resulting in the fusion of the __HMGA2__ gene (12q14.3) with a variety of partners. Chromosome band 9p22 rearrangements occur in about 1% of lipomas. We report here the molecular cytogenetic analysis of five cases of lipoma with a 9
## Abstract We report here the presence of ring chromosomes in a retroperitoneal lipoma from a 12‐year‐old male. Ring chromosomes are strongly associated with the pathological subtype “atypical lipoma” in adults. In contrast, however, the tumour described here possesses no atypical features.
## Abstract Burkitt's lymphoma was diagnosed in a male Algerian child presenting with abdominal and jaw tumours. Viral studies revealed that this non‐endemic case was associated with the Epstein‐Barr virus. Cytogenetic examination of tumour cells showed a complex three‐way rearrangement involving c
