Abstract
- Herein, we report a neonatal case of an extra-renal non-cranial malignant rhabdoid tumor with simultaneous tumor in the adrenal gland, which was initially diagnosed with hemangioma. The patient showed a soft tissue mass on the chin at birth which grew rapidly with invasion of lower lip. Despite multimodal treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation, the patient died of disease progression at the age of 20 months finally. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathology, treatment, and prognosis for this case are discussed.
