摘要
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATsRT) is a rare tumor and extremely aggressive embryonal neoplasm of the central nervous system. Brain tumors in infant are suggestive of some oncogenic prenatal factors. We report on a case of ATRT in a 4-month-old infant conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF). Some previous reports have raised a question about the possible relation between IVF and childhood cancer, particularly embryonal tumors. Report of such cases may provide some evidence to identify if there is a real association between congenital tumors and IVF.
