Abstract

Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is a rare and aggressive malignancy associated with poor outcomes. MRT of the liver is even rarer, and little information has been described. We report the case of an 8-month-old boy with MRT of the liver. The tumor showed aggressive progression despite a multidisciplinary approach, and the patient died due to multiple organ failure 14 days after admission. Autopsy revealed the liver tumor and multiple metastases with negative immunohistochemistry for INI1/BAF47. A review of 53 cases of pediatric MRT of the liver is provided.
Keywords: liver tumor; rhabdoid tumor; abdominal neoplasms; neoplasm metastasis; SWI-SNF-B chromatin-remodeling complex liver tumor; rhabdoid tumor; abdominal neoplasms; neoplasm metastasis; SWI-SNF-B chromatin-remodeling complex
