Clin Neuroradiol. 2011 Jun;21(2):101-6. doi: 10.1007/s00062-011-0085-2.

Abstract

This article presents the case of a 10-month-old baby girl with an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor. The differential diagnosis relied on the findings from magnetic resonance with T1 and T2-weighted imaging as well as histological and immunohistochemical methods. The characteristics of the possible candidate lesions considered for the differential diagnosis are described.
