Embryonal tumour with multilayered rosettes, abbreviated ETMR, is a very rare neuropathology embryonal tumour with aggressive behaviour.

General

  • Extremely rare.
  • Histologically WHO grade IV tumor.
  • 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 tumors formerly known as:[1]


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/neuronal maturation after treatment (rare).

  • ETMR, medulloepithelioma type.

  • ETMR, ependymoblastoma type.

  • ETMR, poorly undifferentiated cells.

  • ETMR, rosettes.

  • ETMR, ganglion cells.

DDx:

IHC

  • LIN28+ve.
    • Note: Some AT/RT may be focally +ve. [5]
  • CD99: focally +ve.
  • Synaptophysin: Neuropil-like areas +ve.
  • GFAP: usu -ve.
  • INI1 +ve.
  • Mib1: 20-80%.

  • LIN28 positive ETMR.

  • MIB1 in ETMR rosettes.

Molecular

  • Chr 2 gain.
  • C19MC amplification. [6]
  • Some rare LIN28+ve cases without C19MC amplification may show DICER1 mutations.[7]
