We report the results of cytogenetic analysis in two children with neuroblastoma. The analysis was performed on slides obtained from a 24-hour bone marrow (BM) culture or by a direct method of the primary tumor tissue. The structural and numeric karyotype aberrations were established, including structural aberrations of chromosome 1. The finding of i(1q) and t(1;5)(p22;q13) is of interest because these chromosome aberrations are rare in this type of disease.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D009447	Neuroblastoma	A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.
