Overview

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor must be differentiated from medulloblastoma, pineoblastoma, spinal primitive neuroectodermal tumors, and other pineal gland masses.^[1]^[2]

Differentiating Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor from other Diseases

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor must be differentiated from:^[1]^[2]

	Symptoms				Physical examination	Lab Findings	MRI	Immunohistopathology
Diseases	Clinical manifestations					Para-clinical findings			Gold standard	Additional findings
	Symptoms				Physical examination	Para-clinical findings
	Head- ache	Seizure	Visual disturbance	Constitutional	Focal neurological deficit	Lab Findings	MRI	Immunohistopathology
Childhood primary brain tumors
Medulloblastoma ^[3]^[4]^[5]	+	+/−	+/−	−	+	−	Infratentorial Mostly in cerebellum Non communicating hydrocephalus	Neuroectoderm origin Homer wright rosettes	Biopsy	Drop metastasis (metastasis through CSF)
Pilocytic astrocytoma ^[6]^[7]^[8]	+	+/−	+/−	−	+	−	Infratentorial Solid and cystic component Mostly in posterior fossa Usually in cerebellar hemisphers and vermis	Glial cell origin Solid and cystic component GFAP +	Biopsy	Most of the time, cerebellar dysfunction is the presenting signs.
Ependymoma ^[9]^[10]	+	+/−	+/−	−	+	−	Infratentorial Usually found in 4th ventricle Mixed cystic/solid lesion Hydrocephalus	Ependymal cell origin Perivascular pseudorosette	Biopsy	Causes an unusually persistent, continuous headache in children.
Craniopharyngioma ^[11]^[12]^[13]^[10]	+	+/−	+ Bitemporal hemianopia	−	+	Hypopituitarism as a result of pressure effect on pituitary gland	Calcification Lobulated contour Motor-oil like fluid within tumor	Ectodermal origin (Rathkes pouch) Calcification +	Biopsy	Initialy presents with lower bitemporal quadrantanopsia followed by bitemporal hemianopsia (pressure on optic chiasma from above)
Pinealoma ^[14]^[15]^[16]	+	+/−	+/−	−	+ vertical gaze palsy	B-hCG rise leads to precocious puberty in males	Hydrocephalus (compression of cerebral aqueduct)	Similar to testicular seminoma	Biopsy	May cause prinaud syndrome (vertical gaze palsy, pupillary light-near dissociation, lid retraction and convergence-retraction nystagmus
