An Interesting Rare Case Report of CNS Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumour in 8-Year-Old Male
Published: 2025-02-12

Abstract

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare and aggressive malignancy predominantly diagnosed in childhood. Although it primarily arises in the brain, AT/RT can occur anywhere within the central nervous system (CNS), including the spinal cord. Approximately 60% of cases are in the posterior cranial fossa, particularly the cerebellum. This report presents the case of an 8-year-old male with no prior medical history diagnosed with this rare tumour.
