Overview
Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor comprises approximately 1 - 2% of all pediatric brain tumors; however, in patients less than 3 years of age, this tumor accounts for up to 20% of cases. The incidence of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is approximately 0.3 per 100,000 individuals in the United States. Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is a rare disease that tends to affect the children. The median age at diagnosis is approximately 24 - 30 months. Males are more commonly affected with atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.9 to 1.
