Malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor: a case report

Abstract: The fetal extrarenal rhabdoid tumor is a highly aggressive and rare neoplasm that mostly occurs in the first year of life. In this case, a remarkably enlarged right upper arm was diagnosed in a male fetus at 31+2 weeks of gestation. Because of a fast progressive tumor volume and signs of fetal distress, a cesarean section was performed at 34 weeks of gestation. The preterm baby showed a blue livid tumor reaching from the right elbow up to the shoulder that resulted in an extrarenal rhabdoid tumor on histopathologic analysis. A therapeutic trial with cyclophosphamide was not effective and the child died at the age of 26 days because of multi-organ failure.
