Rhabdoid tumour
Malignant rhabdoid tumour is a very aggressive form of tumour originally described as a variant of Wilms' tumour, which is primarily a kidney tumour that occurs mainly in children. Malignant rhabdoid tumour was first described as a variant of Wilms' tumour of the kidney in 1978. Malignant rhabdoid tumours are a rare and highly malignant childhood neoplasm. Later rhabdoid tumours outside the kidney were reported in many tissues including the liver, soft tissue, and the central nervous system. Several cases of primary intracranial MRT have been reported since its recognition as a separate entity in 1978. The term "rhabdoid" was used due to its similarity with rhabdomyosarcoma under the light microscope. The exact pathogenesis of MRT is unknown. The cerebellum is the most common location for primary intracerebral MRT. Biggs et al. were first to report a primary intracranial MRT around 1987. Although the cell of origin is not known, cytogenetic studies have suggested a common genetic basis for rhabdoid tumours regardless of location with abnormalities in chromosome 22 commonly occurring.
