Abstract (EN): Cytogenetic study of 18 follicular thyroid adenomas showed clonal chromosome changes in 12 tumors. These results suggest the existence of at least three cytogenetically distinct subgroups: a hyperploid group characterized by the presence of a cluster of numerical changes including +5, +7, and +12 as the most frequent anomalies and, less frequently, +4, +9, +14, +16, and +17; a pseudo- or near-diploid group characterized by simple karyotypic aberrations; and a cytogenetically normal group.
