A Case of Congenital Orbital Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor: Systemic Metastasis following Exenteration

Abstract: A newborn girl presented with massive proptosis of the right eye. Physical and radiologic examination disclosed that the primary orbital mass was confined to the site. A diagnosis of malignant rhabdoid tumor was made by histopathologic examination of an incisional biopsy specimen. Exenteration was performed, and the resection margins were free from tumor cells. However, distant metastasis developed in the liver 1 month after surgery. Despite chemotherapy, the patient died 2 months later due to tumor invasion i… Show more

“…Ranging from parapharyngeal to orbital to paratesticular, extrarenal MRTs present a diagnostic challenge due to their widely variable presentation and morphological features. 9 A case study of a newborn with a thigh mass, found to be MRT, showed poor response to chemotherapy, with progressive dissemination and a survival of 70 days. 4 A small number of cases of extrarenal MRT diagnosed in utero have been reported.…”

“…Since their initial description in the kidney, MRT occurring in extrarenal locations have been reported in the heart, 63 liver, 52 thymus, 42 brain, 7,61 prostate, 13 soft tissues, 51,66 pelvis, 18 vulva, 54 bladder, 25 skin 11 and orbit. 21,23,39,46,48,57,61,65,68 Composite tumors may be encountered in many mesenchymal soft tissue (Table 2). The vast majority of noncomposite orbital examples of MRT have been reported in children.…”

“…The vast majority of noncomposite orbital examples of MRT have been reported in children. 21,23,39,57,65,68 The literature contains only two prior descriptions of noncomposite rhabdoid tumors in the adult orbit: one in the lacrimal gland 48 and the other in the intraconal space. 37 We know of no previous instance of a benign orbital tumor ultimately manifesting an emergent malignant rhabdoid clone (composite tumor).…”

“…Cerrahi tedavide negatif sınır sağlanabilmesi hedeflenir ancak enükleasyon ve egzanterasyon ilk planda tercih edilecek bir yöntem değildir. Literatürdeki olguların dördünde tümörün kontrol edilemeyen büyümesi, birinde ise hastanın daha önce retinoblastom tanısı ile enükleasyon geçirmiş olması nedeniyle egzanterasyon yapılmıştır (8,(10)(11)(12)14). Hastamızda ilk yapılan ameliyat ile negatif cerrahi sınır sağlanamamış, ameliyat sonrası iki haftalık dönemde lokal nüks saptanarak kemoterapi başlanmıştır.…”
