==Overview==
Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is comprised of [[Malignant rhabdoid tumor|rhabdoid tumor]] [[Cell (biology)|cells]] and varying amounts of small undifferentiated [[Primitive neuroectodermal tumor|primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)]]-like [[Mesenchymal stem cell|mesenchymal]], and/or [[Epithelium|epithelial]] differentiated [[tumor]] [[Cell (biology)|cells]]. [[Gene]] involved in the [[pathogenesis]] of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor include ''[[SMARCB1]]'' (''hSNF5/INI-1''), a [[tumor suppressor gene]]. Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor may be associated with rhabdoid predisposition syndrome. On [[gross pathology]], atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is characterized by an encapsulated, grayish, friable mass which is moderately [[vascular]]. On [[microscopic]] [[Histopathology|histopathological]] [[analysis]], atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is characterized by round blue [[tumor]] [[Cell (biology)|cells]] of high [[Cell (biology)|cellularity]] composed of atypical [[cells]] with eccentric [[Cell nucleus|nuclei]], small [[Nucleolus|nucleoli]], and abundant amounts of [[eosinophilic]] [[cytoplasm]] with frequent [[mitotic]] figures. Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is demonstrated by positivity to [[tumor markers]] such as [[Epithelium|epithelial]] [[membrane]] [[antigen]], [[vimentin]], and [[actin|smooth muscle actin]].


==Pathogenesis==
== Pathophysiology ==
*Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). The tumor cells are derived from the [[neuroectoderm]], but have not developed and differentiated in the way a normal neuron would, and so the cells appear "primitive".
 
*Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor was until relatively recently classed as [[medulloblastoma]], although both are clinically and histologically different.

[[genetics|Genetic]] similarities have been found within rhabdoid tumors.  In particular the [[Chromosome|chromosomal]] [[22q11.2 deletion syndrome|22 deletion]] is very common in AT/RTs.  The [[chromosome 22]] area contains the hSNF5/INI1 [[gene]] that appears to function as a classic [[tumor suppressor]] gene.<ref>

Identification of INI1 as a tumor suppressor has facilitated accurate diagnosis of rhabdoid tumors.

The rate of [[transcription (genetics)|transcription]] for SWI/SNF and [[Histone deacetylase|HDAC]] complexes seem to be regulated by the INI1 gene.  The SWI/SNF complex plays a role in chromatin remodeling.  AT/RT is the first pediatric brain tumor for which a candidate tumor suppressor gene has been identified. A mutation or deletion in the INI1/hSNF5 gene occurs in the majority of AT/RT tumors.  Up to 90% of AT/RT cases involve chromosome 22 deletion.  This is mainly point mutations on the hSNF5/INI1 gene (i.e., one can diagnosis AT/RT without a chromsome 22 deletion elsewhere).  The [[SWI/SNF|hSNF5/INI1]] gene regulates 15 or so proteins in the chromintin structure.  In addition, the OPN gene has a higher expression in AT/RT tumors. It is increasingly believed that the reason that all of the AT/RT cancers are not associated with the hSNF5/INI1 gene is that there are 14 additional proteins in the chromintin structure that are controlled by other genes.  There are also some emerging mouse models of the AT/RT cancer as well as experimental cell lines derived from tumors.  Despite these advances, the function of the gene is not yet understood. There is not enough known about the function of INI1, either as an independent modulator of gene expression or through its association with the [[SWI/SNF]] complex, to be able to use specific targeted biological agents for treatment.<ref>http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/62/1/323.abstract</ref>  Prospective clinical and biologic trials are greatly needed to understand the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, as well as the role of the gene.

Overview

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is comprised of rhabdoid tumor cells and varying amounts of small undifferentiated primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)-like mesenchymal, and/or epithelial differentiated tumor cells. Gene involved in the pathogenesis of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor include SMARCB1 (hSNF5/INI-1), a tumor suppressor gene. Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor may be associated with rhabdoid predisposition syndrome. On gross pathology, atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is characterized by an encapsulated, grayish, friable mass which is moderately vascular. On microscopic histopathological analysis, atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is characterized by round blue tumor cells of high cellularity composed of atypical cells with eccentric nuclei, small nucleoli, and abundant amounts of eosinophilic cytoplasm with frequent mitotic figures. Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is demonstrated by positivity to tumor markers such as epithelial membrane antigen, vimentin, and smooth muscle actin.
