We report on a mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the lung in a 6-year-old girl with a t(11;19)(q14-21;p12) as the sole karyotypic abnormality. An apparently identical t(11;19) has been reported previously in a MEC originating from the major and minor salivary glands. Our findings indicate that the t(11;19) is intimately associated with the mucoepidermoid phenotype and may be used as a diagnostic marker for this tumour type.
我们报告了一名6岁女孩的肺黏液表皮样癌(MEC),其唯一的核型异常为t(11;19)(q14 - 21;p12)。先前曾有报道称,源自大、小唾液腺的黏液表皮样癌中存在明显相同的t(11;19)。我们的研究结果表明,t(11;19)与黏液表皮样表型密切相关,可作为这种肿瘤类型的诊断标志物。
