Descriptor tumor rabdoide
Scope note: Tumor infantil raro, pero muy mortífero, que afecta casi exclusivamente a lactantes. Histopatológicamente recuerda al RABDOMIOSARCOMA, pero las células tumorales no son de origen miógeno. Aunque afecta principalmente al riñón, puede hallarse en otras partes del cuerpo. Se cree que la citomorfología rabdoide es la expresión de una célula maligna muy primitiva.

Scope note: A rare but highly lethal childhood tumor found almost exclusively in infants. Histopathologically, it resembles RHABDOMYOSARCOMA but the tumor cells are not of myogenic origin. Although it arises primarily in the kidney, it may be found in other parts of the body. The rhabdoid cytomorphology is believed to be the expression of a very primitive malignant cell.
