Our cytogenetic findings in 175 uterine leiomyomas revealed 52 tumors with clonal chromosome abnormalities, eight of which did not belong to any well-delineated cytogenetic abnormal subgroup. However, an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 3 was found, as the sole chromosome abnormality, in three cases. We believe that this involvement of 3q is significant enough to consider it as a new cytogenetic subgroup of uterine leiomyoma.
