case_images: The radiologic study showed a mass at the same location of former one in temporal lobe [Figure 1]. Radiologic imaging of his brain had been performed and showed a large mass in temporal lobe with solid cystic appearance without significant hemorrhage and minimal peripheral edema and mass effect [Figure 1].
case_images: Tumor tissue with normal brain tissue (right upper part). Cellularity is high. Patternless distribution of malignant cells is obvious. (H & E stain, x100)

case_images: H and E study and afterward immunohistochemical (IHC) examination led us to the diagnosis of ATRT. Histomorphologic sections with H and E staining [Figures 2 and 3] showed a highly malignant tumor consists of cells distributed in a patternless fashion and some areas of necrosis.
