Rhabdoid Carcinoma Innovations

Rhabdoid tumor may be a rare, aggressive, and highly fatal disease that typically presents within the kidneys of youngsters . Extrarenal rhabdoid tumor has been identified in various tissue types throughout the body, most ordinarily within the brain, but despite its wide phenotypic diversity nearly all rhabdoid tumors share an equivalent genotypic origin. We present a case of rhabdoid tumor of the plexus brachialis , the second such case to be reported, and a quick review of the literature. Our patient may be a five-year-old female who presented with sensorimotor symptoms of her arm. Her initial imaging suggested a possible malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. She underwent surgical decompression via an infraclavicular approach; complete resection wasn't possible. The pathology was according to extrarenal rhabdoid tumor. She is being treated with alternating cycles of chemotherapy consisting of ICE and VDC.Rhabdoid tumor (RT) was first described as a rare variant of Wilms tumor, accounting for fewer than 2% of childhood renal tumors [1]. The median age of diagnosis is 11–18 months [2], [3]. It typically presents as high-stage disease, and progresses rapidly with most deaths occurring within 12 months of presentation [4]. RT also occurs outside of the kidney, most ordinarily within the brain but throughout the remainder of the body also , where it's even rarer and deadlier.
