Brain atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor in an adult with long-term survival: Case report and review of literature.

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) represents a rare malignant embryonic tumor of infant and early childhood. Its prognosis remains dismal despite aggressive multimodal treatment. We report the case of a 24-year-old male who was diagnosed with left parietal AT/RT after total resection and who is still in good health and recurrence free 4 years after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
