Abstract
A 22-year-old female with a thymic carcinoma is reported. The tumor was refractory to both chemotherapy and irradiation. The patient died with an aggressive clinical course. Cytogenetic study showed that the tumor cells had a chromosome translocation, t(15;19)(q15;p13), which was not identified previously in human cancer.
