[Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR): case report and literature review].

ETMR is very rare and poorly understood neoplasm. The authors present a giant hemispheric ETMR in a 2-year-old boy with an extremely aggressive course of disease. Despite the advances in diagnosis and treatment of CNS tumors in children, there are currently more questions than answers regarding ETMR. Pooled analysis of all available data with large-scale studies is needed. It is necessary to emphasize an exceptional role of each clinical case for global study of this tumor. Timely adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy in highly specialized centers is also essential.
