ABSTRACT
Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma (DIG) is a rare brain tumor encountered in infants. In spite of its large size at presentation and occasional high mitotic activity on histopathology, the tumor has a good prognosis. A 7-month-old baby girl developed increasing head circumference. On ultrasound, a large multicystic mass was seen. We report the cranial ultrasound findings for the first time. Correlative imaging of this recently recognized entity is shown.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortalities. TNM Staging, which has recently been revised, remains an important guide to treatment and prognosis of lung cancer. In this article, we propose a simple chart that can be used as a quick reference consolidating all the information necessary to obtain an accurate staging.
