We report on a primary cutaneous rhabdoid tumour in a 14-month-old child, to the best of our knowledge, the second case in the literature. The tumour showed a multipolypoid gross appearance and classical histological features. The neoplastic cells were positive for keratin and vimentin and most were positive for proliferating cell nuclear antigen. The ultrastructural examination revealed typical intracytoplasmic aggregates of intermediate filaments. The tumour showed a very aggressive course, and the child died 5 months after the diagnosis of cerebral metastasis.

Abstract
We report on a primary cutaneous rhabdoid tumour in a 14-month-old child, to the best of our knowledge, the second case in the literature. The tumour showed a multipolypoid gross appearance and classical histological features. The neoplastic cells were positive for keratin and vimentin and most were positive for proliferating cell nuclear antigen. The ultrastructural examination revealed typical intracytoplasmic aggregates of intermediate filaments. The tumour showed a very aggressive course, and the child died 5 months after the diagnosis of cerebral metastasis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
