  • Title: Rapidly progressive primary leptomeningeal atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor: a report of 2 cases.
    Author: Gauvain KM, Durham BH, McHugh M, Geller TJ.
    Journal: J Child Neurol; 2012 Dec; 27(12):1597-601. PubMed ID: 22378667.
    Abstract:
    Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor is a rare, highly malignant central nervous system tumor most commonly occurring in very young children. Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor most often presents as an expanding mass with symptoms consistent with the location of the tumor and may present with metastatic leptomeningeal disease. The authors describe 2 cases of rapidly progressive, diffuse leptomeningeal atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor without a solid primary mass. These cases demonstrate a clinical picture that can easily be confused with a basilar meningitis, encephalomyelitis, or vasculitis.
