Abstract
A canine thyroid adenoma showing trisomy 18 as the sole clonal cytogen etic abnormality (9 of 30 analyzed metaphases) is reported. Because tr isomies are a recurrent cytogenetic finding in human benign thyroid tu mors as well, it is suggested that the molecular relationship between these trisomies and the development of thyroid tumors an be determined by comparative gene mapping.
