t(11;22) in three cases of peripheral neuroepithelioma

Abstract
Short-term cultures of three cases of peripheral neuroepitheliomas were studied using G-banding technique. A t(11;22)(q24;q12) was recognized in all three tumors. The results strengthen the hypothesis of a common histogenesis for neuroepithelioma, Ewing's sarcoma, and the Askin tumor.
