Very recently, an HMGIC-LHFP (lipoma HMGIC fusion partner) fusion gene has been detected in a lipoma with a t(12;13).     ///    The results of the present study demonstrated the absence of the HMGIC-LHFP fusion in three pulmonary chondroid hamartomas (PCH) with complex aberrations involving chromosomal regions 12q13 through q15 and 13q12q through q14 and one PCH with a simple t(12;13)(q14 through 15;q13) by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.     ///    Absence of HMGIC-LHFP fusion in pulmonary chondroid hamartomas with aberrations involving chromosomal regions 12q13 through 15 and 13q12 through q14..
