Journal Article
Extraordinary disease-free survival in a rare malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor: a case report and review of the literature
2018
Overview
Background
Malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor of the gastrointestinal tract is rarely reported in the literature. It is characterized by poor prognosis and aggressive metastatic features.
A literature review evidenced only 19 cases, with poor outcome.
Case presentation
We report a case of a colonic “pure” malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor with metastatic nodes in a 65-year-old Caucasian man. He was treated surgically with no recurrence, no adjuvant chemotherapy, and with 4-year survival without disease at the time of the submission of this article.
Conclusions
We present an extraordinary case of long-term survival due to the extended surgical treatment.
We believe that the absence of organ metastasis at presentation is a positive prognostic factor, although pathology confirmed node involvement (13/38 positive) on microscopy.
