Abstract

In this study, we report the cytogenetic analysis of a 31-year‑old male with a rare translocation between chromosomes 1 and 16 and inversion of chromosome 5 in CD99-positive soft tissue sarcoma of the thigh, which metastasized to the lung. Histologically, the tumor showed ovoid or short-spindle atypical cells with positivities of CD99, vimentin and bcl-2. Cytogenetically, all 20 analyzed cells showed the clonal aberrations add(1)(q23), t(1;16)(p21;p11.2), inv(5)(q11.2;q15). This finding adds to the new karyotype spectrum of CD99‑positive soft tissue sarcomas.
