An atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour (AT/RT) is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) involvement at presentation indicates intracranial dissemination and is associated with an aggressive course and worse outcomes. We present the characteristic cytomorphological features of AT/RT in the cerebrospinal fluid from a toddler presenting with a posterior fossa space-occupying lesion.
横纹肌样瘤(AT/RT)是一种极其罕见的恶性肿瘤。在发病时出现脑脊液(CSF)受累表明颅内播散,并与侵袭性病程和更差的预后相关。我们展示了一例表现为后颅窝占位病变的幼儿脑脊液中 AT/RT 的特征性细胞形态学特征。
