AB - Malignant rhabdoid tumor was first thought to be a subtype of wilm’s tumor, which was later disproven by
Haas et al. and was categorized as a separate entity.
Malignant rhabdoid tumors are mainly present in the kidneys of children, however, cases of extra renal
malignant rhabdoid tumor were reported in the literature. In this report we describe a case of extra renal
malignant rhabdoid tumor in the adrenal gland.
Malignant rhabdoid tumor is a highly aggressive neoplasm with very poor prognosis. Due to the rarity of
the disease, no universal treatment regimen has been developed yet, where treatment options include the
surgical removal of the tumor, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a multimodality approach of management.
In this report we present a case of 21-year-old lady with MRT in the adrenal gland, who had neoadjuvant
radio-chemotherapy followed by laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
