An atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare, fast-growing tumor that is malignant (cancerous) and develops in the brain and spinal cord. This condition is usually seen in children under age 3, but it can also occur in older children and into adulthood.
Experts believe that ATRT results from a gene mutation that causes proteins that stop tumor growth to not develop.
