| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ependymoblastomas, embrynal tumors with abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANTR) and medulloepitheliomas are subtypes of central nervous system primitive neuroectodermal tumors. Recent data suggest that these tumors constitute a single entity, embryonal tumors with multilayered rosettes (ETMR), for which 19q13.42 amplification represents a specific molecular hallmark, and that LIN28A is a specific immunohistochemical marker for ETMR. We analyzed LIN28A immunohistochemical expression in ETMR and their histological mimics with multilayered rosettes, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT), immature teratomas and anaplastic ependymomas, and found that LIN28A can be used for differentiation between ETMR and anaplastic ependymomas but is not useful for differentiation of ETMR from AT/RT and immature teratomas.
