We report the cytogenetic findings in three mixed liposarcoma following short-term cultures. During the course of cytogenetic investigation of various types of liposarcomas, we observed an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6 together with the translocation (12;16)(q13;p11) in three tumors. Translocation (12;16) is associated with myxoid and mixed (myxoid/round cell) liposarcomas, although deletion of chromosome 6 has been observed in only a few of these tumors. Our findings suggest that del(6), as an additional change in myxoid liposarcoma, is probably related to tumor progression.

D008080 Liposarcoma A malignant tumor derived from primitive or embryonal lipoblastic cells. It may be composed of well-differentiated fat cells or may be dedifferentiated: myxoid (LIPOSARCOMA, MYXOID), round-celled, or pleomorphic, usually in association with a rich network of capillaries. Recurrences are common and dedifferentiated liposarcomas metastasize to the lungs or serosal surfaces.
