A novel t(1;8)(p13;p11) in a thymic carcinoma with unusual giant cell features and renal metastasis

Cytogenetic analysis of a thymic carcinoma metastatic to the left kidney revealed the presence of a t(1;8)(p13;p11). In addition to a previously undescribed translocation, this tumor histologically showed unusual giant cell features.
