Abstract Hepatoid adenocarcinomas, especially primary gastric hepatoid adenocarcinomas are well known to be a highly malignant tumor since they easily metastasize to the liver. Two newly established cultured hepatoid adenocarcinoma cell lines were characterized with special references to invasive-metastatic activity and chemosensitivity. The TSG11 cell line was derived from a primary gastric hepatoid adenocarcinoma, the patient of which ran an aggressive clinical course. Another cell line TGBG3 was derived from a primary gallbladder hepatoid adenocarcinoma, the patient of which has been free from disease for 10 years. TSG11 cell showed more intimate similarity to immature hepatocyte in both aspects of cell morphology and cell function than TGBG3 cells. However, some experiments concerning invasive-metastatic activity and chemo-sensitivity done in the present study did not successfully disclose any evidences that TSG11 cells had more highly malignant character. Probably the reason why the parent tumor of TSG11 cells was highly malignant was due to other factors which were not examined in the present study.
