Excerpt

Sir, Chondroid lipoma is a rare benign tumor of adipose tissue origin that may mimic myxoid chondrosarcoma and liposarcoma. Karyotypes from two chondroid lipomas have been reported so far, both with a t(11;16)(q13;p12–13) [2, 7]. We report a chondroid lipoma with the same translocation, including ring chromosomes in a small fraction of metaphases. …
