Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 2001 Jun;127(2):140-2. doi: 10.1016/s0165-4608(00)00436-2.

Abstract

We describe a case of low-grade myxofibrosarcoma with the karyotype 46,XX,t(2;15)(p23;q21.2), del(7)(q?11.2q?22). Only six of these tumors have been previously studied and all were cytogenetically different.
