  • Title: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor arising from the trigeminal nerve in an adult.
    Author: Yu F, Chiang F, Bazan C.
    Journal: Neuroradiol J; 2016 Dec; 29(6):447-449. PubMed ID: 27335108.
    Abstract:
    A 30-year-old male presented with left facial pain and numbness. Initial MRI demonstrated an enhancing mass involving the left trigeminal nerve. Follow-up imaging showed interval growth with erosion of the sphenoid body. Surgical resection was performed and immunohistochemistry staining was consistent with an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor. Awareness of this entity and its imaging features such as diffusion restriction, intratumoral hemorrhage, and bony destruction, can help guide confirmatory diagnostic testing and appropriate therapy.
