This study details a rare aggressive brain tumor in an 18-year-old male, showing progressive rhabdoid transformation of a glioma. The findings highlight diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for these central nervous system (CNS) rhabdoid tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Cancer biology
  • Cytogenetics

Background:

  • Rhabdoid tumors are rare neoplasms with characteristic microscopic features and frequent chromosome 22 abnormalities.
  • In the central nervous system (CNS), rhabdoid tumors typically occur in young children, often as atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors with a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) component.

Observation:

  • A case of an aggressive, supratentorial CNS rhabdoid tumor in an 18-year-old male is presented.
  • The tumor was associated with epithelioid glioblastoma and appeared to originate from low-grade glioma areas.
  • The rhabdoid component increased with successive resections, and no PNET areas were identified.

Findings:

  • Electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry confirmed features typical of rhabdoid tumors.

  • Cytogenetic studies revealed multiple tumor clones with monosomy 22.
  • The case demonstrates progressive rhabdoid transformation of a glioma.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of CNS tumors exhibiting a rhabdoid phenotype.
    • It underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by CNS rhabdoid tumors.
    • Further research into the mechanisms of rhabdoid transformation in gliomas is warranted.
