Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive childhood tumor that exhibits muscle cell differentiation. Cytogenetically, it is characterized by t(2;13)(q35;q14); no consistent secondary abnormalities have been reported. Cytogenetic analysis of bone marrow in a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma revealed t(2;13)(q35;q14) and der(16)t(1;16)(q21;q13). The present case and a review of the literature suggest that up to 11% of these tumors possess der(16)t(1;16)(q21;q13). This is similar to the incidence observed in the Ewing family of tumors, where unbalanced der(16)t(1;16) translocations, resulting in partial trisomy of 1q, are regarded as a consistent secondary cytogenetic change.
