Fig. 1A. 30-year-old woman with choriocarcinoma and multiple pulmonary
metastases. Unenhanced chest CT scans obtained at admission show multiple
variable-sized nodules (arrows) through both lungs, indicating
pulmonary metastases of choriocarcinoma.

Fig. 1C. 30-year-old woman with choriocarcinoma and multiple pulmonary
metastases. Unenhanced chest CT scans obtained after eight courses of
methotrexate and leucovorin therapy for 2 years show two nodules
(arrows) in left lung. These residual nodules communicate with
curvilinear structures (arrowheads), suggesting arteriovenous
fistulas.
