Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare and highly aggressive type of brain cancer that primarily affects children under the age of three. It is cl****ified as a central nervous system tumor because it originates in the brain or spinal cord.

AT/RT tumors are characterized by the presence of both rhabdoid cells and diverse components such as teratomas, which are tumors consisting of different types of tissue. These tumors typically occur in the cerebellum, but they can also develop in other parts of the brain or spinal cord.
