Embryonal tumour with multilayered rosettes, abbreviated ETMR, is a very rare neuropathology embryonal tumour with aggressive behaviour.

General

  • Extremely rare.
  • ETMR historically had been termed CNS PNET.
  • The WHO2016 CNS classification contains two groups:
    • Embryonal tumour with multilayered rosettes, C19MC-altered.
    • Embryonal tumour with multilayered rosettes, NOS.

Note: ETMR is an umbrella term for following subsets:


Clinical presentation

  • Usu. age <4 years.
  • 70% supratentorial, 30% infratentorial.
  • Raised intracranial pressure.

Imaging

  • Usu. enhancing.
  • Rarely cysts, calcifications.
  • Widespread infiltration.

IHC

  • LIN28+ve.
    • Note: Some AT/RT may be focally +ve. [3]
  • CD99: focally +ve.
  • Synaptophysin: Neuropil-like areas +ve.
  • GFAP: usu -ve.
  • INI1 +ve.
  • Mib1: 20-80%.
