Malignant Extrarenal Rhabdoid tumor derived from the greater omentum: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Abstract Background Malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor (MERT) is a rare and highly metastatic tumor, which is more than 75% of patients dying within 6 months of initial diagnosis, and it often leads to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Case This paper reports a 16‐year‐old girl who presented with the chief complaint of acute abdominal pain. She underwent laparoscopic exploration and excisional biopsy, then pathological examination and immunohistochemistry revealed “extrarenal malignant rhabdomyoma.” One month after operation, she died of intra‐abdominal hemorrhage and multiple organ dysfunction. Conclusion MERT were often misdiagnosed and had a poor prognosis. The surgery and chemotherapy are usually beneficial to prolong the survival time of patients with MERT.
