Polyclonal chromosomal evolution in a benign mixed salivary gland tumor

Banding analyses of a human benign pleomorphic adenoma in the parotid gland revealed a polyclonal pattern where structural rearrangements predominated. These deviations were different from the anomalies previously observed in 100 mixed tumors. The reason found for the differences in all likelihood w...

Zusammenfassung:Banding analyses of a human benign pleomorphic adenoma in the parotid gland revealed a polyclonal pattern where structural rearrangements predominated. These deviations were different from the anomalies previously observed in 100 mixed tumors. The reason found for the differences in all likelihood was x-ray treatment of tuberculous lymphadenitis in the neck during childhood. Implications regarding origin and development of pleomorphic adenomas are discussed.
