Overview

The diagnosis of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is based on the current WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system criteria, which include presence of rhabdoid tumor cells and/or divergent differentiation along epithelial, mesenchymal, neuronal, or glial lines in addition to the complete loss of SMARCB1 protein expression in tumor cell nuclei, but the expression retained in preexisting cells (e.g., endothelial cells).[1]

Diagnostic Criteria

The diagnosis of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is based on the current WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system criteria, which include:[1]

AND
  • Complete loss of SMARCB1 protein expression in tumor cell nuclei, but the expression retained in preexisting cells (e.g., endothelial cells)
