    Abstract

    The cytologic and cytogenetic findings of chondroid lipoma, a rare benign tumor of soft tissue, have not been described. This report details the morphologic features of a fine-needle aspiration biopsy specimen and describes a novel cytogenetic finding. The main cytologic features consisted of clustered, variably mature, multivacuolated, hibernoma-like cells enmeshed in a capillary plexus, with a background of chondromyxoid material. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a balanced translocation t (11, 16)(q13;p12-13) distinct from the known translocation involving 16p11 in myxoid and round-cell liposarcoma. The 11q13 breakpoint was previously noted in hibernomas, raising the possibility of a common genetic deregulation.
