Spatial inhomogeneities for a sample of Giant Extragalactic HII Regions (GEHR) have been analyzed. The results indicate that, whitin the observational errors, the O/H and He/H abundance ratios are constant for a given GEHR. The Ne/O ratio on the other hand shows a trend with the evolution of the ionizing stellar clusters.
