Abstract

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) of the central nervous system and malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK) may present with different responses to chemotherapy and outcomes. We describe the case of an infant with multifocal rhabdoid tumor with different behavior and response to treatment, depending on the anatomic site. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
