ABSTRACT
A malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney, an uncommon renal tumor of children, is one of the most lethal neoplasms in early life. It was considered to be a sarcomatous variant of Wilms' tumor; however, further studies of its histological and clinical characteristics have proven it to be a distinct entity. We report a case of malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney in a 3-month-old girl, with a left abdominal palpable mass that had developed over the previous month. A left radical nephrectomy, with a regional lymph node biopsy, and 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy, was performed. On the 45th postoperative day, multiple metastasises in liver, contralateral kidney and left upper lobe of lung were found. The patient expired 2 months after the operation.
