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:
- Embryonal tumour with abundant neuropil and true rosettes [1]
- Ependymoblastoma [2]
- Medulloepithelioma
Clinical presentation
- Usu. age <4 years.
- 70% supratentorial, 30% infratentorial.
- Raised intracranial pressure.
Imaging
- Usu. enhancing.
- Rarely cysts, calcifications.
- Widespread infiltration.
Microscopy
- Rosettes (often multilayered).
- Small cells.
- Fibrillar zones (neuropil-like areas).
- Neoplastic ganglion cells.
- Papillar and tubular growth (primitive neural tubes).
- PAS-positive membranes.
- Glial maturation after treatment (rare).
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%.
LIN28 positive ETMR.
