Primary atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor of the spine in an adult patient.

CONCLUSION: Primary spinal AT/RT in the adult patient is rare. The pathology is associated with early recurrence and a poor prognosis. Although potential benefits of metronomic chemotherapy and alisertib have been reported, the patient in this study did not favorably respond to these modalities. PMID: 27069744 [PubMed]
