The pericentromeric inversion, inv (6)(p25q13), is a novel diagnostic marker in chondromyxoid fibroma.
Modern Pathology 1998 November
Chondromyxoid fibroma is a benign bone tumor that arises most commonly in the metaphysis of long bones in young adults. The cytogenetic features of this tumor are not well known. In this study, four chondromyxoid fibromas were karyotyped after short-term cell culture. All of the tumors contained clonal rearrangements of chromosome 6, and each of these rearrangements involved band 6q13. Two tumors contained a pericentromeric inversion, inv (6)(p25q13), which was described recently in chondromyxoid fibroma. 6q13 rearrangements are not associated with other types of bone and soft tissue tumors, and the inv (6)(p25q13) is reported only in chondromyxoid fibroma. Hence, this cytogenetic marker might be helpful in distinguishing chondromyxoid fibroma from chondrosarcoma and other histologic mimics. The consistent occurrence of 6q13 rearrangements suggests a specific oncogenic mechanism in chondromyxoid fibroma, most likely involving oncogene activation.
