Abstract
BACKGROUND Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is well documented in children but less so in adults because of its rarity. METHOD We report a series of five cases, a literature review and quantitative analysis of the survival outcome of adult AT/RT patients. RESULTS Seventy-four patients including our five cases (male: female = 16: 58) were evaluated, whose median age was 32.5 years (18-80 years). The commonest location was the sellar region. Median overall survival (OS) was 12.5 months (0.5-204.00 months). Chemotherapy was associated with OS (HR: 0.349, 95%CI: 0.176-0.694, p = 0.003), while other factors did not influence OS. From Kaplan-Meier analysis, surgery combining postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy was associated with better prognosis (Log Rank: χ2 = 14.662, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Adult AT/RT is commoner in females and tends to recur rapidly after surgical resection. Chemotherapy may provide a survival benefit. Surgery combined with postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy was associated with better prognosis for adult AT/RT patients, though the overall prognosis was still poor.

Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor of the Nervous System in Adults: Location-Related Features and Outcome. World Neurosurg 2023; 179:e404-e415.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) of the nervous system is a rare and highly malignant neoplasm, mainly affecting children, first recognized as a pathologic entity in 1996 and added to the World Health Organization Classification of the Tumors of the Central Nervous System in 2000. AT/RT is even rarer among adults and is associated with a worse prognosis. The aim of the present study was to analyze the different tumor features according to the location in adults. METHODS A comprehensive and detailed literature review of AT/RTs in adults was made. The demographic, management, and outcome data associated with tumor location were analyzed and compared; histopathologic and molecular features were also discussed. Furthermore, we added our personal case with brain hemispheric localization and reported a progression-free survival of 103 months after gross total resection and adjuvant radiotherapy showing a peculiar histopathologic pattern. RESULTS Female sex is mainly affected by AT/RT on median localizations, both intracranial and spinal, and by all sellar region cases. Gross total resection is mainly achieved among lateral compared with median localizations. Combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the most adopted adjuvant treatment in all tumor localizations and is related to better outcome. Postoperative death is reported only among sellar region localizations, whereas brain hemispheric cases show the best overall survival. CONCLUSIONS AT/RTs show different and peculiar features according to their location, which significantly affects the outcome; precise knowledge of them helps the neurosurgeon in planning the best strategy for treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid tumors are rare, highly malignant tumors in adults, with a median survival of 20 months. We report a case of a sellar atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor in a 70-year-old female treated with intraventricular chemotherapy, followed by a systematic review of the current management of sellar AT/RTs. Methods: A comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted on Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed Central using the key terms “sellar” and “atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors”, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data, including patient demographics, histology, treatments, and overall survival were extracted and analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank analysis were used to compare survival outcomes between different treatment regimens. Results: Our literature search disclosed 123 publications. After prespecified exclusions, 41 patients with sellar AT/RT from 30 manuscripts were identified, and 38 were included in the final analysis. Including our patient, the median age was 44 (range: 20-70) with a substantial female predominance (94.7%). Collectively, patients who received combined chemoradiation therapy had a significantly increased overall survival compared to those who received single modality or no adjuvant therapies (median OS 27 vs. 1.25 months; p=0.0052). Conclusion: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor in the sellar region carries a poor prognosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy were associated with significantly increased overall survival. Early consideration of neuro-oncology and radiation-oncology referral and management is likely beneficial in this patient population. Intrathecal chemotherapy is a treatment modality that requires further exploration given the limited options and current dismal prognosis of adult sellar AT/RT.

Abstract
Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is a rare lesion that occurs mainly in children can be supratentorial or infratentorial and it accounts for 1-2% of pediatric brain tumors and over 10% of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in infants, with a male preponderance up to 3 years of age, more than 50% of these occur in the cerebellum. In this report we describe four new cases of sellar AT/RTs underwent endoscopic endonasal approach and different adjuvant therapies. Our aim is to report the clinical, radiological and pathological features of these rare lesions, focusing on the possibility to perform an early diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic strategy.

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor in adults: a systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis and additional reports of 4 cases. J Neurooncol 2022; 157:1-14. [PMID: 35217948 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-022-03959-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/01/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a highly aggressive embryonal CNS neoplasm, characterized by inactivation of SMARCB1 (INI1) or rarely of SMARCA4 (BRG1). While it is predominantly a childhood tumor, AT/RT is rare in adults. METHODS We provide a comprehensive systematic review of literature with meta-analysis; 92 adult cases were found from 74 articles. We additionally present 4 cases of adult AT/RTs (age ranging from 19 to 29 years), located to cerebellum in 2 cases, to ponto-cerebellar angle in 1 case and to spinal cord in the remaining case. RESULTS Microscopic features of our 4 cases showed a highly cellular tumor with rhabdoid morphology and high mitotic activity. All tumor cells lacked nuclear SMARCB1/INI1 protein expression. In case no. 3 we also performed methylation profiling which clustered the tumor with pediatric AT/RT-MYC subgroup. Prognosis remains poor in both pediatric and adult population with a median overall survival of 11 months. Our review demonstrated median overall survival of 15 months among the adult populations. However, consistent with a recent review, adult AT/RT seems to have highly variable prognosis and some patients reach long term survival with 22.9% of 5-year survival without evidence of disease and mean follow up time of 35.9 months (SD = 36.5). 27.1% of dissemination was also reported among the adult population. CONCLUSIONS Adult AT/RTs predominantly arise in female patients and in supratentorial location. Midline structures, including the sellar region, are the most affected sites, especially among females aged > 40 years. Male gender is more prevalent between the age of 18 and 40 years and more frequently associated with non-midline tumors. Factors significantly associated with better prognosis are patient's age (< 40 years), combined radio-chemotherapy adjuvant approach and Ki-67 score < 40%.

Abstract
A typical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT) are highly malignant embryonal tumors in children that are associated with inactivation of the integrase interactor 1 (INI1) gene. Several adult cases of AT/RT have been reported, which were characterized by the sellar occurrence and predominantly occurred in females with INI1 mutation variants. However, clinical and genetic features are poorly understood in this unusual entity. We experienced a case of a 45-year-old female with sellar AT/RT presenting diplopia, who underwent subtotal removal of the tumor by the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach. Pathological diagnosis was AT/RT with INI1 inactivation on immunohistochemistry. Subsequently, multiple lung metastases were confirmed on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). Although she received postoperative chemoradiotherapy, she died of cerebrospinal fluid dissemination. Autopsy revealed cerebrospinal dissemination and lung metastasis of AT/RT. Biallelic alterations in the INI1 gene were identified by direct sequencing, harboring on different alleles (compound heterozygous mutations) was observed, which is the potential genetic pattern in adult AT/RT. Literature review indicated that lung metastasis frequently occurs in sellar AT/RTs, which is accompanied by cavernous sinus invasion. These observations suggested that cavernous sinus invasion causes haematogenous metastasis to the lung in sellar AT/RT. We discuss clinical and pathological features in adult sellar AT/RT to improve understanding of this unique entity.

Abstract
Loss of function in SMARCB1/INI1 has been observed in a group of malignancies collectively defined as SMARCB1/INI1-deficient neoplasms. Primary intracranial SMARCB1/INI1-deficient tumors in adults are extremely rare. We collected eight primary adult sellar SMARCB1/INI1-deficient tumors to study their clinicopathological and (epi)genetic characteristics. We performed a comprehensive assessment of the clinical, radiological, morphological and immunohistochemical features. FISH analysis for the SMARCB1 locus and target exome sequencing for 425 cancer relevant genes were performed. Furthermore, six bona fide proximal epithelioid sarcoma (PES), fourteen atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRT) in brain and five pediatric poorly differentiated chordomas (PDC) in the clivus were collected for comparative analysis of differential diagnostic maker expression and DNA methylation profile. The median age was 47.1 years, ranging from 26 to 73 years. On morphology, tumors were characterized by sheets of monomorphic larger epithelioid-like cells, in two cases with rhabdoid cells. "Stag-horn" vasculatures were observed in five cases. The loss of INI1 protein expression, co-expression of epithelial makers and mesenchymal markers were observed in all cases. CD34 expression was observed in six cases. Heterozygous deletion of SMARCB1/INI1 was confirmed using FISH in six cases. The results of target exome sequencing showed three patients harbored heterozygous point mutations in SMARCB1. The epigenetic features of the primary adult sellar SMARCB1/INI1-deficient tumors resembled the ATRT-MYC subgroup, but clustered apart from PES and PDC. Based on epigenetic characteristics, primary adult sellar SMARCB1/INI1-deficient tumors represent a subtype of ATRT with similar epigenetic characteristics of ATRT-MYC subgroup. Our findings suggest that DNA methylation profiling should be utilized for differential diagnosis for the majority of epithelioid sarcoma and (sellar) rhabdoid tumor.

Abstract
Background: Adult sellar region atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare lesion. We aimed to elucidate clinical, radiologic, and pathological characteristics, treatment strategies, and outcomes of this disease. Methods: Five adult sellar AT/RT patients were retrospectively analyzed between January 2015 and December 2018. In addition, we performed a review of the reported data on adult sellar AT/RT. Results: Patients (n = 5) were female with a median age of 50 years. The mean duration of symptoms, of which headache was the most frequent, was 1.6 months (range, 2 weeks−8 months). The average tumor size was 2.82 cm (range, 1.9–4.5 cm). All lesions were irregularly shaped. MRI showed heterogeneous enhancement in three of five lesions. Four of five patients underwent subtotal resection (STR) and one gross total resection (GTR). Whereas, one patient received post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy, one patient received post-operative combination of radio- and chemotherapy. The review of the reported data showed that 39 cases of adult sellar AT/RT had been reported. The estimated median overall survival (OS) was 23 months with a 1-year survival estimate of 59.7%. The median OS for patients with GTR was 28 months and 17 months for patients with STR. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that patients with high (≥35%) MIB-1/Ki67 index value had a significantly shorter OS compared with those with low (<35%) index value (p = 0.033), and that patients who received post-operative combination radio- and chemotherapy had longer OS than that of those who did not (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Adult sellar region AT/RT is a rapidly growing tumor with a poor prognosis. High levels of MIB1/Ki-67 on histology may indicate aggressive feature of the tumor. Maximal safe resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy may be the optimal therapeutic strategy for adult sellar region AT/RT.

Adult Pineal Region Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor: A Case for Aggressive Surgical and Chemoradiation Management with Comprehensive Literature Review. World Neurosurg 2020; 142:117-127. [PMID: 32599188 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.06.144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2020] [Revised: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 06/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare, highly malignant central nervous system neoplasm classified as an embryonal grade IV neoplasm by the World Health Organization. ATRT generally occurs in children younger than 3 years, with 85 pathologically confirmed cases reported in adults. It is most commonly supratentorial, with only 9 confirmed adult cases localized to the pineal region. CASE DESCRIPTION The case is described of a 29-year-old man with a history of chronic migraines and a previously negative computed tomography scan of the head presenting with worsening headaches and new-onset diplopia with upward gaze palsy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a hemorrhagic pineal mass with extension into the right thalamus. After resection, the immunohistochemical staining and cytogenetic profile proved consistent with ATRT, making it the ninth reported case of pineal ATRT in an adult, which was treated aggressively with good outcome. CONCLUSIONS Adult ATRT is rare, especially in the pineal region, with only 9 cases reported. Because of the aggressiveness, ATRT must be considered in the differential diagnosis of pineal region lesions because early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are key to prolonged survival.

Abstract
Atypical rhabdoid tumours (AT/RTs) of pineal origin are rare in adults with rapid progression and poor prognosis. We present the case of a 71-year-old man with confusion and memory loss who was diagnosed with a pineal AT/RT after genetic analysis. Due to his limited functional capacity and goal to return home with family, a multidisciplinary care approach was essential for coordination of medical management, radiation treatment and acute inpatient rehabilitation. After diagnosis and rehabilitation, his functional ability improved allowing him to tolerate cranial irradiation, initiate systemic chemotherapy and eventually returned home for a brief period with an improved quality of life. His progress was temporary due to rapid progression of the tumour. He required additional aggressive oncological treatment and was admitted for subsequent inpatient rehabilitation before opting for hospice care. This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment in a patient with a rare and aggressive brain tumour, while respecting the individual goals of patients and their families.

Abstract
Background: Sellar masses comprise 14–18% of all intracranial tumors. Pituitary adenomas account for 85% of these lesions, while 15% of sellar masses stem from other etiologies. Intratumoral hemorrhage (apoplexy), while not exceptionally common, can be discovered at presentation. While the hemorrhage pattern is typically contained within the tumor, an extension of bleeding beyond the sella has been reported. Case Description: A 55-year-old female presented with an anterior interhemispheric subarachnoid hemorrhage and extensive intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Initially, the IVH was thought to be due to a ruptured aneurysm. After further workup, a hemorrhagic sellar mass was diagnosed. The patient underwent transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary adenoma. The patient returned to the emergency department6 weeks later with an atypical rapidly expanding sellar mass. After tumor debulking, the pathology revealed an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT). Here, we reviewed this and other such cases of sellar ATRT. Conclusion: The early diagnosis of sellar ATRT with lack of integrase interactor 1 expression and elevated Ki67 proliferation indices can prompt more aggressive attempted gross total resection, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult sellar atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare diagnosis that has recently been shown to be a clinicopathologically and genetically distinct variant of ATRT occurring almost exclusively in middle-aged women. Although up to one third of pediatric ATRT is caused by a familial syndrome, no previous cases of a familial adult sellar ATRT have been reported. We present the first case report of a familial germline mutation causing adult sellar ATRT and a literature review of 29 previously reported cases of sporadic adult sellar ATRT. CASE DESCRIPTION A 51-year-old woman with a family history of brain tumors spanning 3 generations presented with visual decline and was diagnosed with an adult sellar ATRT. Genetic studies showed a heterozygous splice-site loss-of-function mutation of the INI1 gene in exon 7. Treatment included endoscopic endonasal biopsy, craniospinal irradiation, and focal tumor boost, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS This is the first case report of a familial germline mutation causing adult sellar ATRT. This article highlights the importance of a thorough family history and genetic testing in these individuals and reviews the current genetics, histopathology, and multidisciplinary treatment approach in this rare condition.

Abstract
Background: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor in adults is a relatively rare malignant neoplasm. It is characterized by the presence of rhabdoid cells in combination with loss of either the INI1 or BRG1protein from the tumor cells. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE using the terms “atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor” AND “adult.” The systematic review was supplemented with relevant articles from the references. Cases were included if the pathology was confirmed by loss of INI1 or BRG1. We included a case from our institution. The dataset was analyzed using descriptive statistics and log-rank test. Results: A total of 50 cases from 29 articles were included in this study. The average age at diagnosis was 36.7 years. The most common locations reported are the sellar region and cerebral hemispheres (without deep gray matter involvement). Of the 50 cases, 14 were reported to show evidence of dissemination. The average overall survival was 20 months. There was a significant difference in survival between the adjuvant therapy groups (p = < 0.0001). Conclusion: Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor of the central nervous system in adults is a rare neoplasm associated with a poor prognosis in a majority of patients. The treatment and clinical course are highly variable, and it remains unclear which factors impact prognosis.

Abstract
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a highly malignant central nervous system neoplasm usually diagnosed in young children, although it can occur in adults. Prognosis for AT/RT is poor, with a median survival of 10 - 11 months. We report a rare case of adult sellar and suprasellar AT/RT in a 36-year-old female patient. She was treated with multi-modalities including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. She markedly improved following treatment with no recurrence in 3 years follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the 11th case of an adult-onset AT/RT in the sellar or suprasellar region with favorable long-term outcome.

Long-term survival following additive radiotherapy in patients with atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors. Strahlenther Onkol 2016; 192:569-81.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a highly aggressive disease of embryonic origin accounting for <5% of all pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS We describe a series of five cases of CNS ATRT. The first three patients underwent subtotal tumor resection. Gross total resection of the tumor was achieved in the fourth and fifth patients. Only 4 patients received chemotherapy, whereas all 5 patients received additive radiotherapy (RT). The latter included three dimensional (3D) conformal RT or intensity modulated RT (IMRT) with a median dose of 54 Gy (range 50.4-59.0 Gy) applied in daily fractions of 1.8 Gy. The median interval between surgery and RT was 5 months (range 2-11 months). RESULTS Two months after completion of RT, 4 patients had achieved complete radiologic remission. The median event-free survival period was 46 months (range 10-90 months). However, the first patient died 17 months after developing an out-of-field recurrence. The third patient developed a recurrence 11 months after salvage RT. The other 3 patients (cases 2, 4, and 5) remain alive with no evidence of disease 59, 46 and 90 months after therapy, respectively. CONCLUSION Overall, the 5 patients survived for a median of 48 months (range 25-90 months) from the time of initial diagnosis and they tolerated the RT well, without severe acute or late onset toxicities. The results imply a potential survival gain after irradiation at acceptable toxicity level.

Abstract
Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour (ATRT) is a rare and highly aggressive malignant neoplasm of the central nervous system (CNS), which occurs predominantly in children less than 2 years of age. There are less than 50 cases described in adult. We report a case of primary spinal ATRT in a 65-year-old male who presented to us with cauda equina syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, our patient is the (1) second oldest patient to be diagnosed with ATRT and only the third case of adult spinal ATRT report in the literature; (2) first reported case of CNS ATRT occurring in a patient with non-rhabdoid renal cancer; (3) first adult patient of ATRT to present with cauda equina syndrome.

Abstract
We report a very rare case of sellar and suprasellar atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) in a 42-year-old female patient. The tumor was removed subtotally with a transsphenoidal approach. Histopathologic study showed rhabdoid cells with prominent nucleoli and abundant cytoplasm. Immunohistochemistry for INI1 was completely negative in the tumor cells, consistent with ATRT. After surgery, she received radiotherapy including spinal irradiation with proton beam therapy and subsequent chemotherapy, with no evidence of recurrence for more than 2 years. Up to date, this is the 8th case of an adult-onset ATRT in the sellar or suprasellar region. Despite its rarity, ATRTs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an unclear malignant sellar or suprasellar lesion in adult patients and the treatment strategies for adult ATRT patients could be differentiated from those of pediatric ATRT patients.

Abstract
Background: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare central nervous system tumor composed of primitive rhabdoid cells that may differentiate along neuroectodermal, mesenchymal and epithelial lineages. AT/RT in adults is rare but not completely exceptional. It generally arises from the posterior fossa of infants, but the broad majority of the reported AT/RT in adults manifested supratentorially with the exception of four cases that arose in the cerebellum and two that arose in the spinal cord. Case Description: A 44-year-old female complained of visual disturbance. We performed craniotomies twice and removed partially for each time, but any malignant cells were not found in the specimens. Finally, we determined histological diagnosis from the extended lesion. She died of respiratory failure 17 months after the initial treatment. Conclusion: AT/RT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a sellar lesion in adult patients. However AT/RT is rare in adults, the appropriate immunohistochemical evaluation should be performed to diagnose this rare entity.
