Double Minute Chromatin Bodies in a Case of Ovarian Ascitic Carcinoma

C D Olinici
PMCID: PMC2008450  PMID: 5115833

Abstract

The paper presents the cytogenetic constitution of an ovarian ascitic carcinoma. Double minute chromatin bodies were seen in all the metaphases; their number was proportional to the number of the cells. Some properties of the double minute chromatin bodies are discussed.
