Heterogeneity of DNA content in multiple hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) was investigated by flow cytometry in 62 tumours from 26 patients who had undergone surgical treatment for multiple synchronous HCCs. Heterogeneity of DNA content was defined (a) when tumours had a different DNA ploidy pattern or (b) when the difference in the DNA index of the aneuploid clone was more than 0.1. A tumour with DNA aneuploidy was observed in 17 (66%) of the 26 patients. Heterogeneity of the DNA content was demonstrated in 12 (46%) out of 26 patients: in ten cases by definition (a) and in two cases by definition (b). Histological examination revealed that, of the 12 patients with a heterogeneous tumour DNA content, seven (58%) had a heterogeneous and the remaining five (42%) had a homogeneous type and grade of differentiation among the tumours, showing the absence of a relationship between histological heterogeneity and DNA content. The present results suggest the clinical relevance of DNA content analysis for identifying the clonal origin of multiple HCCs.
