Abstract

This report presents karyotypes of seven breast carcinomas with high ploidy from our total of 111 cases. These karyotypes were highly complex and there was no indication of a specific deletion of 16p12----pter as indicated by the previous analysis of some near-diploid tumors. A comparison of numerical changes did not demonstrate a common loss of chromosome #16 as in the near-diploid tumors, but an equivalent loss of chromosomes #8 and #13 was found.
