Abstract

Background: Rhabdoid tumor of the kidney is an uncommon and aggressive tumor characterized by poor outcomes. Given the rarity of this tumor, the diagnosis is still a challenge and the treatment is not well codified. Case report: A 4-month-old girl presented with abdominal mass. Clinical and radiologic explorations suggested nephroblastoma. The diagnosis of rhabdoid tumor was made post operatively based on anatomopathological findings.
