A Rare Case of Embryonal Tumor with Multilayered Rosettes. Atypical Localization

This article is dedicated to a rare embryonal tumor of the central nervous system with multilayer rosettes. In our article we discuss the diagnostic difficulties associated with atypical localization, similar imaging characteristics and similar cellular composition of the tumor. We are considering the modern capabilities of radiology techniques and radiological examinations by using multiparametric magnetic resonance mapping in the differential diagnosis of embryonal tumors of the central nervous system. We present a clinical case of embryonal tumor of the central nervous system with multilayer rosettes located in an atypical place — in the posterior fossa, which is a rare finding. The article is illustrated with original magnetic resonance imaging supplemented by histological and immunohistochemical verification.
