Abstract
Two balanced reciprocal chromosome translocations, t(8;12)(p21;p13.1) and t (15;16) (q24;q22), characterized a rare hemangiopericytoma in a newborn. Ch romosome painting with a chromosome microdissection-derived whole-chromosom e 8 probe confirmed that the t(8;12) was due to a reciprocal translocation. To the best of our knowledge, these chromosome findings are unique to this unusual case of a pediatric hemangiopericytoma. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
