'''Embryonal tumour with abundant neuropil and true rosettes''', abbreviated '''ETANTR''', is a very rare [[neuropathology]] tumour reported only in children. It is currently not listed in the WHO CNS tumour classification. There is consens, to group this entity together with ependymoblastomas under the umbrella term [[embryonal tumour with multilayered rosettes]] (ETMR).<ref name=pmid20532895>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Paulus | first1 = W. | last2 = Kleihues | first2 = P. | title = Genetic profiling of CNS tumors extends histological classification. | journal = Acta Neuropathol | volume = 120 | issue = 2 | pages = 269-70 | month = Aug | year = 2010 | doi = 10.1007/s00401-010-0710-1 | PMID = 20532895 }}</ref>
