Cytogenetic analysis of hepatoblastoma: Hypothesis of cytogenetic evolution in such tumors and results of a multicentric study
1998
Abstract Hepatoblastoma is a rare pediatric malignant tumor of the liver. Previous cytogenetic reports are sporadic. We karyotyped nine consecutive hepatoblastomas from the Italian centers participating in a multicentric study on hepatic tumors (SIOPEL 1). Six cases showed abnormal karyotypes. The most common abnormalities were trisomies of chromosomes 2 and 20. Four cases showed abnormalities of chromosome 1. On the basis of findings, we speculate the possibility of a cytogenetic evolutive pattern of hepatoblastomas.
