A Primary Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor in Adult Liver

Abstract

Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs) are rare high-grade malignancies in the renal or extrarenal organs. MRTs of the extrarenal organs mostly affect the liver, central nervous system, pelvis, soft tissue,1 and intra-abdominal cavity.2 Most MRTs occur in infants and young children,3-8 although adult onset MRTs do occur.9 Here, we report a case of primary MRT arising in the liver of a 50-year-old male.
