Abstract
Malignant rhabdoid tumour of soft tissues is a neoplasm of infants & children having aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Location of these tumors exhibit wide variety with imaging studies of not much help. Histopathologically these tumour cells exhibit rhabdoid features, as an entity or phenotype still difficult to say. Immunohistochemistry and genetic studies contribute towards excluding other underlying line of differentiation presenting as a close differential and providing confirmatory evidence.
Keywords: Immunohistochemistry, Malignant, Rhabdoid, Soft tissue.
