Synchronous congenital malignant rhabdoid tumor of the orbit and cerebellar atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor: Case report.

Malignant rhabdoid tumor is an uncommon pediatric tumor that often arises from the kidneys but can also develop in other soft tissues including the orbits, where it is known as atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor. Orbital location is exceptional, with just a few reported cases. Imaging allows for an accurate diagnosis, but histological confirmation is required. The treatment is yet unclear but nearly often surgical, either with or without chemotherapy. In this report, we present a case of a neonate of 1-month-old with an orbital primary malignant rhabdoid tumor with synchronous cerebellar location. The patient was unable to undergo surgery, he had chemotherapy, and unfortunately died 1 week after following palliative treatment. We will illustrate this clinical experience and point out the importance of radiological imaging in the assessment of this uncommon condition.
