Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Cytogenetic analysis of a cemento‐ossifying fibroma from a patient with nonfamilial bilateral multicentric retinoblastoma revealed three reciprocal translocations with the karyotype 46,XY,t(1;18)(q21;q21.3),t(3;10)(p13;q22),t(6;11)(p22;p15). Routine and high‐resolution cytogenetic analysis of peripheral blood leukocytes showed an apparently normal, 46,XY chromosome pattern with no deletion of chromosome 13. Molecular analysis demonstrated no gross differences in the retinoblastoma gene or the TP53 gene between constitutional and tumor DNA. This is the first cytogenetic analysis of a cemento‐ossifying fibroma and the first report of this tumor in a retinoblastoma patient. The data may be added to the small, but growing literature on cytogenetic aberrations in benign tumors and may lend insight into genes involved in cell proliferation and neoplastic transformation.
