Abstract

Malignant rhabdoid tumors of the kidney (MRTKs) are extremely rare. Pure MRTKs in adult patients are particularly rare and have not been previously reported in China. Due to the non‑specific clinical symptoms, it is difficult but also essential to be able to give a definite diagnosis. The present study reports a case of pure adult malignant rhabdoid tumor in a patient's left kidney with characteristic clinicopathological features. Considering the fact that the characteristic findings are often not observed in clinical symptom and imaging studies, the histological features, immunohistochemical staining and cytogenetic studies may aid in confirming the diagnosis of pure MRTKs. Although pure adult MRTKs remain extremely uncommon, it is necessary to consider this possibility when such types of renal tumors are encountered.
