Cytogenetic and clinicopathological analysis of soft-tissue leiomyosarcomas.

To identify a characteristic cytogenetic aberration and cytogenetic-morphological correlation in soft-tissue leiomyosarcomas, a karyotypic and clinicopathological analysis of 15 cases of leiomyosarcoma was performed. The histological type was classical in nine cases, pleomorphic in three cases and myxoid in three cases. The histological grade was 1 in three cases, 2 in 10 cases and 3 in two cases.
