ONKI3 | Medical Subject Headings

The ONKI is provided as a part of the ONKI Living Lab - an open lab for testing the latest semantic web technologies in practice, with real users like you. Currently, over 10 000 people are using ONKI each month.

We hope you like the ONKI service and enjoy using it for your purposes!

If you encounter any problems or have improvement ideas, please contact the ONKI team. We are also very much interested in your success stories in using ONKI - please share your experiences!

Scope note:	Glioma derived from ependymocytes that tend to present as malignant intracranial tumors in children and as benign intraspinal neoplasms in adults. It may arise from any level of the ventricular system or central canal of the spinal cord. Intracranial ependymomas most frequently originate in the FOURTH VENTRICLE and histologically are densely cellular tumors which may contain ependymal tubules and perivascular pseudorosettes. Spinal ependymomas are usually benign papillary or myxopapillary tumors.
