1 Primary Malignant Ependymoma of the Lung
THOMAS B. CROTTY, M.Sc., M.B., M.R.C.P.I.  Mayo Clinic Proceedings  Volume 67, Issue 4, Pages (April 1992) DOI: /S (12) Copyright © 1992 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Computed tomographic scans of thorax before (A) and after (B) administration of chemotherapy and radiation therapy for small-cell carcinoma in right upper lobe of lung. Subsequent scan (C) shows presence of new nodule, which was identified as a malignant ependymoma on pathologic examination.
