Summary
A cytogenetic analysis of a lung metastasis of an adamantinoma of the tibia, a rare tumor of the long bones, revealed a karyotype 52, XY, t(7;13)(q32;q14), +7, +12, +13, +19, +der(7) t(7;13), +der(13) t(7;13). The t(7;13) was found to be constitutional in the patient and was also present in peripheral blood lymphocytes of his unaffected father. However, both subjects displayed normal levels of esterase D enzyme activity.
