Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours are extremely rare. Only 1% to 2% of all pediatric brain tumours are this type, but they can also occur in adults. Although this type of tumor is not a life-threatening condition, survival rates can be short, ranging from a few months to several years. Only a third of patients survive the disease for more than 5 years.

Children are at the highest risk for developing atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors, which often mimic medulloblastomas. This type of tumor is rarer in adults, but it is still important to seek treatment immediately if a diagnosis is made. Its symptoms can vary from person to person, but the primary symptoms include:

In children, AT/RTs usually develop in the central nervous system and brain. They are caused by mutations in two genes that control cell growth. These mutations are called "tumour suppressor genes" and have been named SMARCA4 and SMARCB1. In the majority of cases, the genetic changes are spontaneous, but some are inherited. For instance, children who have a family history of the disease may be predisposed to develop ATRT.

Symptoms and treatment of Atypical Teratoid/Rhomboid Tumors can be difficult to diagnose. However, many parents will wonder if the tumor is something their children can't handle. For some parents, the answer is yes. The first thing you can do is get a genetic test. It will reveal if your child is likely to develop AT/RT.

Atypical Teratoid/Rhomboids are highly aggressive tumors of the central nervous system. They typically occur in the cerebellum and brain stem. It usually appears at about age 3 or before. Atypical teratoid/Rhabdoid tumors may spread to other parts of the brain, spine, and body. Atypical teratoid tumor symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.

At a young age, atypical teratoid/Rhabdoid tumors usually begin in the brain. It may affect the central nervous system or the spinal cord. It is rare in young children, but it can occur in any area of the body. Atypical teratoid/Rhoid tumors in the central nervous system are difficult to detect and can cause significant symptoms.

Atypical teratoid/Rhabdoid tumors are highly uncommon but can cause major problems. It is an acute illness affecting the central nervous system, and is often difficult to treat. Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor symptoms are common, and often a child with atypical teratoid/Rhomboid tumour will require surgery, or chemotherapy.

Atypical teratoid/Rhabdoid tumors usually start in the central nervous system. They usually develop in the cerebellum or brain stem, but can occur anywhere in the brain. They are fast-growing and can spread throughout the central nervous system. Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor symptoms are similar to those of a teratoid tumor.

Atypical teratoid/Rhabdoid tumors are classified as embryonal tumors because they arise from embryonic stem cells. These cells continue to function in the central nervous system after birth and can form a tumour. As a result, these atypical teratoid/Rhombdoid tumours are classified as an embryonal tumour.

The most common symptoms of AT/RT are similar to those of a rhabdomyoma. Atypical teratoid/Rhabdoid tumors are very rare. The risk of siblings being affected by AT/RT is extremely small, but there have been reports of a high-risk parent. Atypical teratoid tumor is usually asymptomatic, but some symptoms may be life-threatening.

The most common symptoms of AT/RT are severe pain and swelling in the spinal cord. Acute teratoid/Rhabdoid tumors are very rare. Usually, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors are found in the brain, spinal cord, or kidney. In some cases, they may spread to other organs.

ATRT is classified as a type of rhabdoid tumor. Unlike medulloblastoma, it occurs outside the CNS. In most cases, AT/RT occurs in the kidney. It is similar in histology to MRT, although AT/RT can be diagnosed by a pathologist if the patient is older at the time of diagnosis.
