Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour, abbreviated AT/RT, is malignant tumour usually found supratentorially.

It may be written atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour, i.e. without the forward slash (abbreviated ATRT, or atypical teratoid-rhabdoid tumour (abbreviated AT-RT).

It should not be confused with the extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumour.

General

  • Usually supratentorial, occasionally in posterior fossa, case reports of spinal cord.
  • Individuals usually <3 years old, uncommon in adults.[1]
  • Prognosis very poor.[1]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Cellular.
  • Small round cells usu. with a prominent nucleolus.
  • Rhabdoid cells.
    • Cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm + eccentric nucleus.
  • Mitoses.
  • +/-Necrosis (common).

IHC

  • BAF-47 -ve (AKA INI1, AKA SMARCB1 - the HGNC symbol[2]) - virtually diagnostic (4/4 cases[3]).
    • Endothelial cells +ve control.
  • S-100 +ve (4/4 cases[3].
    • Few other brain tumours express it.
  • Vimentin +ve - perinuclear condensation (4/4 cases[3]).

Others:

  • GFAP +ve (focal - in tumour cells).
  • EMA +ve - patchy cytoplasmic (4/4 cases[3]).
  • Smooth muscle actin +ve.(4/4 cases[3]).
  • Cytokeratin +ve.[citation needed]
