Abstract Background Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney is most aggressive childhood renal tumor. A preoperative diagnosis critical in order to correctly establish a therapeutic strategy and full metastatic workup. Case presentation We report on 3-month-old case with fever, diarrhea, abdominal distension treated surgically adjuvant chemotherapy. The was confirmed postoperatively. Relapse qui...

BACKGROUND Malignant rhabdoid tumors of kidney are associated with atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors of brain, both being characterized genetically by deletion/ mutation of SMAR CBI/ INI gene. CASE CHARACTERISTICS 6-month-old male presented with a brain tumor and was subsequently found to have malignant rhabdoid tumor of kidney. INTERVENTIONS Surgical resection of brain tumor followed by ch...

Malignant rhabdoid tumors were originally described in children. Subsequently, the same histological pattern was described in adults. Malignant rhabdoid tumors are aggressive neoplasms that have been reported in multiple organs. To our best knowledge, only 16 previous cases of rhabdoid tumor in the colon have been described in the literature. We present the case of an 87-year-old lady who was d...

PURPOSE Rhabdoid tumors are highly aggressive pediatric tumors that are usually refractory to available treatments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of two oncolytic viruses, myxoma virus (MV) and an attenuated vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV(DeltaM51)), in experimental models of human rhabdoid tumor. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Four human rhabdoid tumor cell lines ...

Malignant rhabdoid tumor is a rare tumor occurring mostly in the neonatal kidneys and central nervous system. Cutaneous malignant rhabdoid tumors are extremely rare in adults. The aim of the study was to report on the clinical, histologic, and immunophenotypic characteristics of this cutaneous malignant rhabdoid tumor which developed in an adult. A 27-year-old male complained of a right palm ne...

Extrarenal rhabdoid tumors (ERRTs) are extremely rare neoplasms; of these, colorectal ERRTs are the most rare, and only nine cases have been previously described in the English language literature. The current study reports the pathological features of a case of poorly differentiated cecal adenocarcinoma with prominent rhabdoid feature, which was combined with mucinous cystadenoma of the append...

UNLABELLED We present here an intriguing case of sporadic renal haemangioblastoma occurring in a 61-year-old male. The tumor consisted of nests of polygonal cells and abundant capillary networks. The neoplastic cells generally showed abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and prominent eccentric nuclei, resembling the rhabdoid cells. Pronounced intranuclear cytoplasmic pseudoinclusions were another si...

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare malignant tumor with gloom destiny. Our case was a 4-year-old boy with a temporal lobe tumor that was then became evident of ATRT with recurrent happening. In a retrospective review of all cytologic slides, we found unique rhabdoid cells that are morphologically evident cells for ATRT in both times. Unfortunately, the cells were overlooked at th...

Rhabdoid colorectal carcinomas are very rare and only 10 cases have been previously reported. We report two cases of rhabdoid colorectal carcinoma, one arising in the sigmoid colon of a 62-year-old man and another in the rectum of an 83-year-old woman. In both cases, the patients had advanced tumors with lymph node metastases. The tumors mostly showed a diffuse arrangement with rhabdoid feature...

Malignant rhabdoid tumor is a distinct renal tumor in children. It had been regarded as a rhabdomyosarcomatoid variant of Wilms' tumor, but it is now thought as a separate entity. We report a case of malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney in a 26-month-old girl who presented with a left abdominal mass. Grossly, a large mass in the lower pole of the left kidney was well encapsulated and measured...
