BERNAL, José Martín et al. Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor of the central nervous system: Case report. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2012, vol.76, n.4, pp.297-300. ISSN 1852-9992.

We report a case of atypical teratoid/ rhabdoid tumor of the central nervous system in a 20 year-old male, who was under treatment for epilepsy since six years ago. The patient presented at our hospital for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which demonstrated a midline lobulated frontal lesion with a maximum diameter of 10 cm. Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors of the central nervous system are infrequent and only a few cases have been reported in adult patients.

Keywords : Magnetic resonance imaging; Computed tomography; Rhabdoid tumor; Brain tumor.
