## Short -term cultures of three hepatoblastomas were analyzed cytogenetically. Trisomy 2, trisomy 20, and a deletion of I7p were found as the sole abnormalities, yielding the karyotypes 47,XY, + 2 47,XX, + 20; and 46,XX,del( I7)(p I2)/46,XX. This is the first reported case of deletion of 17p as t

Abstract
Cytogenetic analysis of two pediatric hepatoblastomas is presented, comparing results in primary tumor samples, nude mouse xenographs, and lung metastases in one case. Both tumors had trisomy 2 and 20 in the primary tumors, along with other structural abnormalities. In subsequent passages/metastases, both tumors showed structural changes in one chromosome 2, resulting in partial trisomy 2q, along with structural changes of other chromosomes. Partial trisomy 1 q was also common to both tumors in late stages. Results are compared to those of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, where trisomy 2 has also been noted.
