Chromosome abnormalities in cementifying fibroma

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1993 Dec;71(2):170-2. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(93)90025-h.

Abstract

Cementifying fibroma is the most frequent benign fibro-osseous odontogenic tumor. We found chromosome abnormalities in a second case of this type of benign tumor. The chromosome changes in both cases are different. The chromosome bands involved in our case have not been described before in any benign fibroma so far reported.
