Four patients with brain tumors were diagnosed with atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors and underwent CT and MR imaging. For all tumors, aggressive features were shown by imaging studies and included hydrocephalus, apparent invasion of the adjacent brain and dura, and marked mass effect. The striking heterogeneity of the atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor shown by imaging studies reflects the histopathologic complexity of these tumors, and awareness of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor is important in making the correct diagnosis of this uncommon but probably underdiagnosed entity.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
