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.
