Abstract

Malignant rhabdoid tumor is a rare highly aggressive neoplasm that affects young children. It is composed of stromal and epithelial components and commonly arises from the kidney. The clinical presentation is usually nonspecific, and the common signs are palpable abdominal mass, hematuria, fever, anemia, and hypercalcemia. Here we present a case of malignant rhabdoid tumor presenting with anorexia and abdominal distention.
