Abstract
NUMERICAL and structural chromosome anomalies have often been reported in human tumours. It is not known whether the change from normal to tumoral cells is induced by or followed by a disturbance of the chromosome complement. Neither is it known whether all chromosome aberrations develop at the same time, or whether any special type of aberration induces further disturbances. Cytological and cytogenetical studies of benign tumours are thus very important; they may well give more information about the mechanism of cell transformation.
