Summary.

A male pig, suffering from lymphosarcoma, was found to have a genotype 39,XXY/40,XXXY, by the use of peripheral blood culture and sex chromatin studies. This is compared to Klinefelter's syndrome and certain aspects of this condition are briefly discussed, together with the co-existence of the chromosome aberration and the neoplasia.
