Abstract
- Malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor (ERRT) is a very rare type of soft-tissue sarcoma with a reported incidence of 0.3% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. Only 7 cases of spinal malignant ERRT have been reported in the literature, and to our knowledge, F-18 FDG PET/CT imaging for staging and evaluation of response to therapy for these tumors has not been previously described. This is a case of an 8-month-old boy with malignant ERRT of the spine, who was staged with F-18 FDG PET/CT, and had his tumor burden assessed with PET/CT after chemotherapy, which altered the subsequent chemotherapy regimen.
