Abstract
Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) of the kidney are rare in children and even less common in adults, with only six previously reported adult cases. We present the case of a 60-year-old man with an MRT arising in the left kidney with extensive pulmonary micrometastases and thromboembolism resulting in thrombotic pulmonary microangiopathy (pulmonary tumor embolism syndrome). MRT is an extremely aggressive neoplasm with a short survival time.Entities:
