Summary

It is reported on the first chromosome analysis of a primary carcinoma of the Fallopian tube by direct chromosome preparation. A hypodiploid stem-line and a heteroploidy with a wide range of chromosome number were found. One or several marker chromosomes could be detected in 69 of 83 metaphases investigated. These chromosomal findings are comparable to those of other carcinomas of the genital tract except the carcinoma of the endometrium.
