Abstract Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney is an uncommon renal tumor in children. The tumor has aggressive behavior and a poor prognosis and is extremely rare in adults; only 3 cases of renal rhabdoid tumors have been reported in adults. We describe here the microscopic, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic characteristics of another case in a 38-year-old woman. This case reinforces the importance of recognizing this entity in the adult population.

Tumor Types

Hepatoblastoma accounts for the vast majority of malignant primary liver tumors in infancy. In contrast, rhabdoid tumors arising in the liver are extremely rare, but they can share clinical and histologic features with hepatoblastoma and can create diagnostic confusion, especially when one is dealing with small biopsies. In this case report we demonstrate that immunohistochemical and molecular techniques can identify the characteristic loss of INI1 and facilitate making the correct diagnosis of primary hepatic malignant rhabdoid tumor. Important similarities and differences between hepatoblastoma and rhabdoid tumors are reviewed, and suggestions are offered to help distinguish these 2 tumor types.

Rhabdoid Features

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 diagnosed with a rhabdoid tumor of the colon that relapsed rapidly after surgical resection. The literature concerning this unusual neoplasm was subsequently reviewed with comparison of all known cases in the literature.
