Abstract
A malignant rhabdoid tumor is an aggressive tumor that occurs mainly in the kidney of infants and children. When it occurs in extrarenal sites, it is referred to as an extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumor. Although a few cases of malignant rhabdoid tumor occuring in the central nervous system, liver, brain, skin, and soft tissue have been reported, it is rarely observed in the stomach. We report the imaging findings of a malignant rhabdoid tumor of the stomach that mimicked a gastric lymphoma in a patient who presented with melena. CopyrightsEntities:

Fig. 1A malignant rhabdoid tumor of the stomach in a 72-year-old male.
A, B. Post enhanced axial (A) and coronal (B) abdominal CT images show circumferential wall thickening with central ulceration and mild enhancement in the gastric lower body and antrum. There is an enlarged lymph node (arrow) in the common hepatic area.
C. Photograph of the gross pathologic specimen. An 8.4 cm × 9.3 cm sized ulceroinfiltrative tumor is noted.
D. Photomicrograph images of a malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor of the stomach. The left image shows typical rhabdoid tumor cells with large vesicular chromatin, prominent cherry-red nucleoli, and abundant hyaline-like cytoplasmic inclusion (arrow) (hematoxylin and eosin stain, × 400). The tumor is characterized by the genetic loss of INI1, a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. The right image shows the negative staining of the tumor cells for the INI1 gene (× 400).
E. Abdominal CT images at 6 months after surgery show multiple hypoattenuating nodules (white arrows) in the liver. Two heterogeneously or homogeneously enhancing masses are within the anterior abdominal wall (arrowheads). Additionally, multiple enlarged lymph nodes are within the aortocaval and paraaortic areas (black arrows). All of them are suggestive of metastasis.
