Chemodectoma of lung.
The histological and histochemical features of a primary chemodectoma of lung are described and compared with previously reported pulmonary chemodectomata. The tumour is of interest because, although there is physiological evidence that chemoreceptors are present in the lung, they have not yet been located anatomically.
