Overview

NCI Definition: A rhabdoid tumor that arises from the kidney. It occurs in children and it is associated with abnormalities of chromosome 22. It is characterized by the presence of cells with a large eccentric nucleus, prominent nucleolus, and abundant cytoplasm. The prognosis is poor. [1]

Rhabdoid tumor of the kidneys most frequently harbor alterations in SMARCB1, SPEN, RB1, RASA1, and ARID1B [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Rhabdoid Tumor of the Kidney

SMARCB1 Mutation, SMARCB1 Loss, SPEN L945fs, SMARCB1fs, and SMARCB1 R201* are the most common alterations in rhabdoid tumor of the kidney [2].
