Eun Hae Cho, Jae Bok Park, Jin Kyung Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(7):333-336.   Published online July 23, 2014

Reports of constitutional ring chromosome 22, r(22) are rare. Individuals with r(22) present similar features as those with the 22q13 deletion syndrome. The instability in the ring chromosome contributes to the development of variable phenotypes. Central nervous system (CNS) atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs) are rare, highly malignant tumors, primarily occurring in young children below 3 years of age. The...

A Case of Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor Arising from the Supratentorial Area
Kyeong Hun Jung, Young Se Kwon, Yong Hun Jun, Soon Ki Kim, Young Jin Hong, Byong Kwan Son, Eun Young Kim, In Suh Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(2):228-231.   Published online February 15, 2005
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor may arise at any central nervous system location, but it is most commonly located in the cerebellum(60 percent). The incidence of this tumor remains unclear but it occurs most commonly in children less than 2 years of age. This highly malignant tumor shows a rapid progression and nonspecific radiologic findings. We report a case of primary intracranial...
A Case of Central Nervous System Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor of The 4th Ventricle : A Highly Malignant Tumor in Infancy and Childhood Frequently Mistaken for Medulloblastoma
So Hee Eun, Sung Hee Jang, Myoung Hee Han, Myoung Ja Chung, Pyoung Han Hwang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(12):1475-1479.   Published online December 15, 2001
Central nervous system atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor(CNS rhabdoid tumor) is a rare malignancy of uncertain origin. It typically occurs in infants and young children and comprises only a small fraction of pediatrics CNS malignancies. The tumor contains a large spindled cell component as classical rhabdoid morphology and focal areas resembling primitive neuroectodermal tumor. The tumor is defined histopathologically by the presence...
