Description

Rhabdoid tumor of kidney (RTK) is an uncommon malignancy with poor prognosis that usually occurs in childhood. This paper presents two cases of RTK and two cases of extra-renal rhabdoid tumours arising in the head and neck, and discussed the imaging features of rhabdoid in general. Intravenous urography, ultrasonography (US), CT and gallium-67 scintigraphy showed a 95 mm x 80 mm x 60 mm gallium-avid left renal mass without evidence of metastatic disease. Other investigations showed no evidence of pulmonary or skeletal metastases. 64 refs., 4 figs
