Chromosomal imbalances were studied by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) on 27 specimens from 24 patients with plasmacytoma. All the specimens exhibited DNA copy number changes (mean, 7.7 aberrations/tumor; range, 2-15). The most recurrent change involved losses at 13q, found in 19 out of 24 p

✦ Synopsis
Cytogenetic analysis of two adult fibrosarcomas revealed clonal chromosomal rearrangements including unbalanced translocations between chromosomes 2 and 19, with the same segment, 2q21-qter, translocated onto 19p13 in one tumor and 19q13 in another; and partial monosomy of 10q due to add(10)(q22) and del(10)(q22q25) seen in one tumor each. This is the first description of nonrandom chromosomal changes in adult fibrosarcoma.

Rat sarcomas, induced by subcutaneous injections of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), were studied with the objective of identifying critical chromosome regions associated with tumorigenesis. We employed three genomewide screening techniques-cytogenetics, CGH, and allelotyping-in 19 DMBA-induce
