This is a case report of a disseminated fetal rhabdoid tumor discovered at 32 weeks of gestation in a 29-year-old woman on immunosuppressive therapy. The mother consulted for a decrease in fetal movement. Fetal ultrasound showed signs of a disseminated tumor affecting the left armpit, liver, spleen, and limbs. A caesarian section was performed because of signs of fetal distress. Immunohistochemical analysis of a fetal biopsy showed deletion of the SMARCB1 gene. Pathological analysis of the placenta showed a rhabdoid tumor invading both fetal and maternal compartments. The mother underwent a whole-body MRI, and no metastasis was found. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a disseminated rhabdoid tumor invading both fetal and maternal compartments.

Abstract A patient with advanced HIV/AIDS presented with a brain abscess. While brain biopsy culture and pathology were unrevealing, universal broad-range PCR (uPCR) demonstrated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). We review the clinicopathologic characteristics of MAC brain abscesses and highlight the effectiveness of uPCR as a diagnostic tool in partially-treated infections.
