Abstract
This report describes and illustrates the early prenatal diagnosis of a familial recurrence of congenital lipomyelomeningocele. Diagnosis was made from longitudinal and transverse ultrasound views of the fetal spine at 17 weeks' gestation showing a fourth echogenic area in the lumbosacral dorsal midline. Early diagnosis and resection of this often harmless-appearing, rare teratomatous tumor of the spinal cord is necessary to prevent irreversible neurologic damage during childhood. Familial recurrence has not previously been documented. This case emphasizes that reproductive counseling after the birth of an infant with a rare malformation must always include the possibility of recurrence. The antenatal sonographic and neonatal appearance is presented.

Abstract
We have investigated cytogenetically a total of 35 solitary lipomas, 10 of which have been reported previously. Of the 25 tumours presented herein for the first time, clonal chromosome aberrations were detected in 17. The remaining eight had normal karyotypes, although two of them had nonclonal aberrations in about one quarter of the cells. Based on the cytogenetic findings in all 35 lipomas, four major subgroups can be distinguished. These are characterized by: (I) hyperdiploid karyotypes including one or more supernumerary ring chromosomes (5 cases); (II) diploid karyotypes with mostly balanced rearrangements involving 12q13-14 (13 cases), including the rearrangement t(3;12) (q27-28;q13-14) in 4 cases; (III) hypodiploid or diploid karyotypes with other aberrations than ring chromosomes or rearrangements of 12q13-14 (8 cases); and (IV) normal karyotypes (9 cases).

Abstract
An association between chromosomal fragile sites and cancer-specific breakpoints has been found to be statistically significant. Cancer patients have been shown to be carriers of fragile sites in chromosome regions involved in rearrangements in malignant cells. Based on these observations it has been hypothesized that fragile sites may be involved in the pathogenesis of human tumors. We have recently described a new recurrent cancer breakpoint at chromosomal region 12q13-q14 in adipose tissue tumors. The possible involvement in these tumors of the rare folate-sensitive fragile site 12q13.1 has been investigated in PHA-stimulated peripheral blood cells from three patients carrying the t(12;16)(q13;p11) in their liposarcoma cells and one patient with the t(3;12)(q28;q14) in his lipoma cells. No expression of the fragile site 12q13.1 could be detected in the blood lymphocytes of any of the patients. The involvement of the fragile site 12q13.1 in the pathogenesis of adipose tissue tumors with a 12q13-q14 breakpoint remains to be established.

Abstract
A cytogenetic study was performed on short-term cultures from fresh surgical specimens obtained from 41 patients with soft-tissue sarcomas of various histologic origins. The results demonstrated that myxoid liposarcomas (five tumors) were associated with a specific translocation between chromosomes 12 and 16 and that synovial sarcomas (six tumors) were associated with a specific translocation between the X chromosome and chromosome 18. These chromosomal data have been used to differentiate myxoid liposarcoma from other myxoid tumors exhibiting a non-characteristic histologic picture, as well as to ascertain the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma in undifferentiated soft-tissue sarcomas. The results to date indicate that identification of specific chromosomal changes in sarcomas may provide a new diagnostic criterion for these tumors and possibly improve prognostication with regard to survival and response to treatment.

Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis was performed in 10 consecutive lipomas; 6 had typical benign histology whereas four had foci of atypia. Three tumors had supernumerary ring chromosomes, 6 had different balanced rearrangements, and one had a normal karyotype. Chromosome 12 was involved in 5 of the balanced rearrangements and, although less certainly, in all the ring chromosomes, with breakpoints localized to 12q13 or q14. The other rearranged chromosomes were numbers 2, 3, 7, 8, 11, 17 and 22. These results demonstrate the non-random involvement of chromosomal region 12q13-q14 in benign lipogenic tumors. The combined data from this and previous studies on benign and malignant lipogenic tumors indicate that different levels of cytogenetic specificity exist within this group of neoplasms. We suggest that myxoid liposarcoma development requires the recombination of 2 specific chromosomal bands (12q13 and 16pII), whereas for some types of benign lipogenic tumors structural changes in 12q13-q14 may be sufficient for neoplastic growth.

Abstract
We report on 11 new cases of Proteus syndrome to illustrate the broad range of the phenotype in this hamartomatous dysplasia. The cardinal manifestations of this sporadic disorder are hemihypertrophy, macrodactyly, exostoses, scoliosis, cavernous hemangiomas, lipomas, linear sebaceous nevi, and deeply rugated soles of the feet. Intelligence is usually normal. The differential diagnosis includes Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber and partial lipodystrophy syndromes.

Abstract
We have analyzed three intramuscular lipomas, two atypical and one with ordinary benign histology, as part of a systematic study of the karyotypic characteristics of mesenchymal tumors. A large ring chromosome of uncertain origin, but possibly representing a rearranged chromosome #3, was found in all three tumors. Previous reports on the chromosome banding pattern in lipogenic neoplasms are restricted to only three cases, all liposarcomas. In one of these, a well differentiated liposarcoma, a ring chromosome was described that was remarkably similar in morphology to the aberration reported here. We conclude that this ring chromosome may constitute a characteristic cytogenetic marker for lipogenic tumors.

Abstract
Detailed clinical histories and cytogenetic investigations using short-term cultures are reported in three typical benign lipomas. Although a diploid (normal) karyotype was observed in two cases, a reciprocal chromosome translocation t(3;12)(q28;q14) was found in the third case, which was briefly reported previously. These data are discussed in light of a lipoma with similar karyotypic changes reported by Heim et al. and a similar translocation observed by us in malignant myxoid liposarcomas. The nonrandom involvement of segment 12q13-q14 in benign and malignant lipomatous tumors suggest a common basis for at least one of the possible multiple steps in the genesis of neoplastic processes.

Abstract
A reciprocal translocation, t(3;12)(q27;q13), was found as the sole karyotypic abnormality in an intramuscular lipoma. The morphology of the derivative 3q+ was strongly reminiscent of the large ring marker we have previously described in three other lipomas, indicating a pathway through which the rings may have arisen. These data, combined with the previous preliminary report by Turc-Carel et al. of a similar t(3;12) in another lipoma strongly suggest that this rearrangement may be a characteristic cytogenetic marker in benign lipogenic tumors.

Abstract
Familial multiple lipomatosis is a hereditary syndrome of multiple lipomas occurring in a particular distribution. It is clinically distinct from multiple symmetric lipomatosis with which it is frequently confused in the dermatologic literature. A case of familial multiple lipomatosis is reported and a review of this condition is presented in an effort to resolve the confusion in the literature about familial multiple lipomatosis and multiple symmetric lipomatosis.

Abstract
Familial macrocephaly with mesodermal hamartomas is described as a distinct syndrome in nine individuals from four families. Constant manifestations include symmetrical macrocephaly without ventricular enlargement, mild neurological dysfunction, and postnatal growth deceleration. Speech and motor delays observed in all the children were usually well compensated by adulthood. Two children had mild mental retardation and seizures which may have been related to intracerebral hemorrhage in one. Mesodermal hamartomas were present in affected persons from all four families, with 60% of individuals manifesting only discrete lipomas and hemangiomas. More serious tumors, including intracerebral hemangiomas, hemangiomatous involvement of the bone, and aggressive lipomas occurred in 40%. Other findings that make it possible to delineate a recognizable syndrome include down-slanting palpebral fissures (66%), a high palate (67%), joint hyperextensibility (55%), pectus excavatum (22%), strabismus or amblyopia (33%), and prolonged drooling (44%). The Bannayan-Zonana syndrome is an autosomal-dominant trait with male predominance of affected individuals.

Abstract
Two cases of renal angiomyolipomas in female siblings associated with tuberous sclerosis were reported. The first case was a 47-year-old housewife who visited the hospital because of severe right flank pain. Bilateral renal angiomyolipomas and hemorrhage in the right angiomyolipoma were recognized by computerized tomography, ultrasonography and renal angiography. After 2 months she had another episode of left flank pain and was diagnosed to have hemorrhage in the left renal tumor. The pain remissed by conservative treatment. Bilateral nephrectomy and hemodialysis would be necessary if she were to have a third attack. The second case was her 36-year-old sister with the chief complaint of left flank pain and genital bleeding. CT and renal angiography suggested a large angiomyolipoma in her left kidney and a small one in her right kidney. Left nephrectomy, right partial nephrectomy and hysterectomy were performed to prevent intratumoral hemorrhage. The histopathological diagnosis was angiomyolipoma of kidneys, uterus and lymphnodes of right renal hilus. Although pre-operative differentiation of angiomyolipoma from renal cell carcinoma has been difficult, recently diagnosis has become possible by CT, ultra-sonography and angiography.

Abstract
An account is given of a form of hereditary, cerebellar ataxia and photomyoclonus. Eight cases from 5 generations were affected. The disease seemed to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. The age at onset usually varied between 35 to 40 years. The symptoms and signs consisted of a cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria and intention tremor. There was no nystagmus. All patients exhibited photomyoclonus and were extremely sensitive to photic stimuli. Other signs were dementia, kyphosis, pes cavus and lipoma localized in the nape of the neck, shoulders and back. Two patients had a partial syndrome with photonyoclonus and skeletal deformities. None of the patients suffered from epilepsy, In one case, histopathological examination revealed atrophy within the cerebellar cortex, dentate nucleus and the posterior columns of the spinal cord. It is concluded that this syndrome belongs to a groups of hereditary ataxias and myoclonus, and differs from myoclonic cerebellar dyssynergia (Ramsay Hunt) and alos from a variety of familial myoclonus and ataxia (Gilbert et al. 1963);
