Cytogenetic analysis revealed trisomy 20 in 4 desmoid tumors: in 2 cases as the sole aberration, in I together with +X, -Y and -I 3 and in I with +8 and a supernumerary marker chromosome. Our findings indicate that gain of chromosome 20 is an early event in the development of a large subset of desmo

Abstract
Clonal karyotypic abnormalities were detected in 7 of 42 cytogenetically analyzed benign ovarian tumors. An adenofibroma had –X and a mucinous cystadenoma had t(1;11)(q25;q23) as the sole abnormality. Trisomy 12 was found in the remaining five tumors. It was the only change in two fibromas and a serous cystadenoma; the fourth tumor, a mucinous cystadenoma, had one clone with + 12 and one with + 12 and + 10, and the fifth tumor, a fibrothecoma, had +4, +9, +12. The finding of trisomy 12 in five of seven karyotypically aberrant tumors suggests that this aberration characterizes a hitherto unrecognized cytogenetic subgroup of benign ovarian neoplasms.
