OBJECTIVE
We intended to assess the clinicopathological features and treatment outcome in patients of intracranial atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT), a rare malignant tumor of the brain.
METHODS
Medical records were reviewed and clinical data collected on AT/RT in a 6-year period (2006-2012).
A 6-month-old girl was admitted to another hospital because of consciousness disturbance, preceded by 2 weeks of decreased activity and vomiting. She was referred to our hospital after ventricular drainage had been instituted for hydrocephalus and the tumor in the pineal region. The patient was
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is an aggressive embryonic brain tumor that is predominantly found in young children. The present study reports the unusual case of an adult male AT/RT patient with a history of another type of tumor, hereditary multiple exostoses (EXT or HME), who survived
Rhabdoid tumors of the central nervous system are rare malignancies. Primary central nervous system atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATT/RhTs) mostly occur during early childhood and are almost invariably fatal. These tumors show similar histological and radiological features to primitive
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare, highly malignant tumor of the central nervous system (CNS) that typically occurs during infancy. These tumors exhibit morphologic heterogeneity and differentiate along multiple lineages, thus posing a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present two
The authors report a case of 6-month-old boy with cerebellar medulloblastoma associated with malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney, presenting with an abdominal mass, large head and projectile vomiting. Following removal of the renal tumor, the mass arising from the superior vermis about 6 cm in
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT) of the central nervous system are rare and extremely aggressive malignancies of early childhood. We report a case of AT/RT in an adult patient. A 30-year-old woman presented with headache, vomiting and ataxia during the second trimester of pregnancy.
This paper presents the case of an eight-year-old girl who presented with headache and vomiting and was found to harbor a right fronto-temporo-parietal, partially cystic and centrally solid tumor that measured 11 x 8 x 7 cm. This vascular tumor was gross totally removed. The initial histopathologic
Rhabdoid tumors of the brain are rare with an invariable dismal prognosis despite treatment. This is the case of a 3 year old boy who presented lethargy, somnolence, nausea, vomiting, and headaches one week prior to hospitalization. A posterior fossa tumor with hydrocephalus was noted on a head
OBJECTIVE
Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is a rare neoplasm with a distinct cytogenetic profile that predominates in infancy. Many cases show predominance of small cells with scanty rhabdoid cells, making recognition of this tumor difficult. We aim at describing our experience with atypical
OBJECTIVE
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is increasingly used for the treatment of infertile couples worldwide. The association between IVF and cancer risk in offspring is conflicting. We present a case of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) in a girl conceived by IVF and present results of
Background: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare tumor that is most frequently encountered in the pediatric patient population. AT/RT accounts for approximately 1-2% of all pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors and
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) often present heterogeneous signals of various cells without remarkable features of the disease. We describe a unique case of atypical brain MRI images presenting as an type II neurofibromatosis Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare, highly malignant tumor of the central nervous system, commonly affecting children below 3 years of age, with around 300 cases reported in the literature. Suprasellar area is a very rare location for such tumor in the pediatric population, with
Teratoid/rhabdoid tumor is a recently introduced infantile brain neoplasm of uncertain origin clinically characterized by a most aggressive course. We describe the case of a 2-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl, the former presenting with central fever and hemiparesis, while vomiting and headache
